Dear Addressees:
Enclosed is a copy of an Environmental Protection Agency staff report
entitled "Finger-Fill Canal Studies, Florida and North Carolina, May
1975."
Because of an extensive review period, publication of the report met
with considerable delay. I sincerely regret this delay and ask your
understanding in this matter.
In reading the document, you will note that no attempt was made to
establish the reported recommendations in the context of either, agency
or regional guidelines. I am confident, however, that the document
will yield much-needed baseline information for evaluating conditions
of water quality associated with existing and planned finger-fill
canals.
Sincerely,
James H. Finger, Director

FOREWORD
The Environmental Protection Agency is committed to an aggressive
program of both water quality and wetland protection. Maintaining wet-
land integrity is a principal consideration in EPA's review of the planning
and potential construction in coastal areas. This document reports the
experience of EPA, Region IV, regarding the physical, chemical, and
biological conditions associated with several existing coastal waterway
developments. In this report environmental baseline data are presented
for consideration in the planning and construction of canal systems in
the southeast region of the United States.
In no respect is this information intended to relieve developers of
their obligation to abide by, nor to avoid conflict with, regulations of local,
state, other federal agencies, or any regulations to be subsequently pro-
mulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report is
not intended to discourage innovative design; however, the suggestions
contained in this report, if implemented, would be a positive step in
reducing water quality deterioration in canal systems.
Adherence to the suggestions contained in this report does not
constitute endorsement or recommendation of any project in itself.
-------
The planning and operation of these studies
were carried out under the supervision of
J. A. Little, Director, Surveillance and
Analysis Division located in Athens, Georgia.
Principal authors were D. B. Hicks
and T. R. Cavlnder, Aquatic Biologist and
Sanitary Engineer, respectively.
Other contributing authors were: B. J. Carroll,
R. L. Raschke and P. M. Murphy, Microbiologist
and Aquatic Biologists, respectively.

II. SUMMARY
A - WATER QUALITY
Poor flushing, coupled with seasonal inflow of fresh water, produced
extensive salinity stratification in canal systems surveyed in southwestern
Florida. A bottom layering of high salinity water resulted in stagnation,
putrification, and excessive nutrient enrichment of the water column. De-
stratification was realized with seasonally diminished inputs of fresh water.
State established water quality standards and associated criteria
provide the basis of assessing water quality violations. Violations of
dissolved oxygen criteria were documented for all canal systems surveyed
in both Florida and North Carolina. These violations were demonstrated to
occur in those canals whose depths exceeded four to five feet.
Total nitrogen and organic carbon were the most salient chemical
constituents characterizing water quality differences between developed
and undeveloped canal systems. In nearly every case, concentrations of
these constituents were greater in the developed waterways. Equally evi-
dent was that their concentrations varied inversely with averaged dissolved
oxygen concentrations.
B - SEDIMENTS
Canal sediments examined during the study featured an accumulation
of organic carbon and nitrogen that were maximized with increasing dis-
tances from the mouths of the canals. The reported carbon:nitrogen ratios
of canal sediments were low and indicated that most canal sediments were
fairly well stabilized with respect to microbial decomposition. Relative
stages of development (dwelling unit density) along canal banks were posi-
tively correlated to general sediment composition. The greater the dwelling
unit density, the greater the nutrient concentration in the sediment.
C - MICROBIOLOGY
Total coliform bacteria densities exceeded allowable water quality
criteria associated with applicable standards at all canal study areas,
with the exception of the Big Pine Key site. No standard violations were
noted at any of the background stations nor at undeveloped canal sites.
As a rule, total coliform densities increased from the mouth to the dead
end of all the developed canals. Dead-end stations had fecal coliform
densities which exceeded their respective background stations by: 43
percent at Punta Gorda; 1,200 percent at Big Pine Key; 33,000 percent at
Panama City (Woodlawn Canal); 50 percent at Panama City (Hentz Canal);
37,000 percent at Atlantic Beach; and 3,500 percent at Spooners Creek.
D - CANAL FLUSHING AND MODELING
In general, the dispersive properties of natural bay-estuarine
systems were two orders of magnitude greater than those canal systems
investigated. A measure of dispersive properties of estuaries and canals
-------
Included in these investigations indicated the following dispersion
coefficients:
Miles2/Day
Waccasassa Estuary - Cedar Key, Florida i/ 2.0-2.7
Hillsboro Bay - Tampa, Florida I/ 0.7-6.0
Canal I - Punta Gorda, Florida 0.006
Canal II - Punta Gorda, Florida 0.003
Canal III - Big Pine Key, Florida 0.002
Canal IV - Big Pine Key, Florida 0.001
Canal V - Big Pine Key, Florida 0.003
Canal VI - Atlantic Beach, North Carolina 0.007
Canal VII - Atlantic Beach, North Carolina 0.011
^L/ Measured by others.
Flushing of canals to the 90-percent level required from 70 to 250
hours in the systems investigated.
Based upon mathematical model simulations, the canal systems studied
did not have the assimilative capacity to receive wastewater effluent.
Flushing times were found to be responsive to both canal depth and
length. Computer simulations demonstrated that depth is the dominant
factor affecting flushing. Consequently, if flushing times and assimila-
tive capacity are to be maximized, canal depths and, to a lesser extent,
lengths must be minimized.
E - SEPTIC TANKS
Considerable documentation exists in the literature of chemical,
bacterial, and viral contaminants from septic tank leachates traveling
significant distances in ground water systems. Confirmed illnesses re-
sulting from the consumption of ground water contaminated by septic tank
leachates emphasize the public health implications where lateral movement
of ground water occurs. Similarly, documentation exists demonstrating
movement of septic tank leachates through ground waters to estuarine
waters.
With the exception of the Big Pine Key studies, tracer dyes intro-
duced into septic tank systems located approximately 50 feet from finger
canals demonstrated that septic tank leachates were rapidly transmitted
to the adjacent canal waters. At Punta Gorda, dye was detected in the
canal system 25 hours after injection into a septic tank system. At
Atlantic Beach, dye was confirmed in two canal systems four and sixty
hours after injection into septic tank systems.
F - BIOLOGICAL
Except for shallow shoreline habitat, physical and chemical conditions
of the bottom in the Punta Gorda canal system severely limited the kinds
and numbers of bottom-dwelling organisms. During the wet season, the canal
systems featured salinity stratification with an anoxic benthic environment.
-------
Bottom sediments were unconsolidated, rich in organic matter, and often
laden with sulfides.
Excessive turbidity, unconsolidated substrate, and lack of dissolved
oxygen precluded the survival of attached benthic macrophytes. Phyto-
planktonic chlorophyll values for the Punta Gorda canals were comparable
to levels found in most inshore regions of the Gulf of Mexico. The growth
of algae on artificial substrates was more luxurious in the developed
canal. Inorganic nutrients did not appear to be a factor limiting peri-
phytic growth.
At Big Pine Key, both the developed and undeveloped canals supported
a benthic environment suitable for numerous kinds of macroinvertebrates.
Diversity and numerical abundance were keyed to the abundance of benthic
attached plants. Bottom sediments appeared to have a low level of organic
matter and were comprised mainly of clay and silt. Seagrasses and attached
algae were common to all canals in the study. Their abundance was suffi-
cient to effect a marked day-night variation in dissolved oxygen. Seasonal
variations in standing crop biomass were maximized in the developed canal
with seasonal lows appearing premature for benthic plant communities. The
undeveloped canal supported a plant community yielding only slight sea-
sonal changes in standing crop biomass. Phytoplanktonic chlorophyll values
were significantly greater in the developed canal with chlorophyll values
being maximized when benthic macrophytes were reduced in standing crop
biomass.
The Sea-Air Estate canal system at Marathon, Florida, featured sedi-
ments comprised mainly of silt and clay with organic content similar to
the Big Pine Key canals. Macrophytes and macroalgae were virtually excluded
from the bottom community. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations were common
to the bottom environment.
A community comprised of few benthic macroinvertebrates was found in
the Atlantic Beach canals. Dead-end and mid-canal regions were void of
a benthic macroinvertebrate community. Sediments in these regions were
excessively enriched with organic matter and unconsolidated. Low dissolved
oxygen concentrations were common to the benthic habitat.

III. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Coastal canal developments should be restricted to non-wetland areas.
Access canals should be routed from housing developments to the parent
body of water by the shortest and least environmentally damaging course.
2. During the planning phase of a coastal canal development, a hydrologic
investigation should be made to determine the presence of, and project
effect on, shallow aquifers. In addition, with consideration of
surrounding hydrologic features, circulation patterns of the proposed
canal system should be described.
3. As part of the permitting process, the party responsible for mainte-
nance of water quality standards and/or correction of water quality
violations in coastal canal developments should be designated.
4. Canal depths should not be governed by fill requirements. An appro-
priate canal depth for shallow draft pleasure craft should be no more
than four to six feet below mean low water.
5. Centralized waste collection and treatment systems are necessary in
coastal canal housing developments.
6. No sewage treatment plant effluent or other point-source discharges
should be discharged directly into finger-fill canal waters. Dis-
charges into surface waters should be sufficiently distant from the
canals to ensure that the effluent is not carried into the canal
systems by tidal currents.
7. Surface drainage patterns should be designed with swales to minimize
direct runoff into canal waterways.
-------
6
8. The grade of canal bottoms should be such that no sills are created
at any point in the system, especially at the confluence with the
parent water body.
9. Orientation of canals should take into account prevailing wind
direction so that flushing/mixing would be enhanced and wind drift
of floating debris minimized.
10. To the extent possible, dead-end features should be eliminated from
canal system design.
Since the studies discussed in this report were completed, EPA Region
IV has initiated additional studies to evaluate the physical, chemical,
and biological aspects associated with dead-end canals featuring maximum
depths of 4-6 feet MLW. Preliminary analysis of these study results indi-
cate the above recommendations remain appropriate.

IV. RATIONALE FOR RESTRICTING CANAL DEPTHS
AND THE USE OF SEPTIC TANKS
A. CANAL DEPTHS
What is an optimum canal depth? As shallow as possible, yet deep
enough to meet navigation requirements. In the context of finger-fill
canals, navigational needs are those of small pleasure craft. The
State of Florida reports 297,894 boats registered as of June 10, 1974.
Of the total, 94 percent of the vessels measured 26 feet or less in
length. Similarly, North Carolina reports 112,530 vessels registered
as of January 1, 1975, of which 98.3 percent measure less than 28 feet
in length. Obviously, shallow-draft boats are to be the principal
vessels of consideration in establishing navigational depths. The
majority of boats are amenable to navigational depths of four to six
feet.
Based on the above consideration and the results of these environ-
mental studies, it is recommended that canal depths not exceed four to
six feet at mean low tide. The environmental considerations leading to
this recommendation are presented in the following discussion.
Flushing or residence time(s) is a relative measure of the ability
of a system to purge itself of a given constituent. The coupling of
dispersive and advective forces establishes the flushing characteristics
of a waterway. In the cases of the Florida and North Carolina canals,
elapsed times ranging from 70 to 250 hours were required to effect a
90-percent removal of a dye tracer. Considering the water quality con-
stituent five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), approximately 70 to 80
percent of the total BOD is exerted in 120 hours. Thus, increasing
residence time requires the canal to assimilate an increasingly greater
share of the oxygen-demanding matter. Furthermore, the restricted circu-
lation of the canal systems limits their reaeration capability.
Flushing dynamics result from a complex set of physical conditions.
Many of these factors are not presently understood, others can not be
controlled, and some are effected for conveniences. The dimensions of a
canal system are a matter of economic convenience. Flushing times under
variations in canal depth and length were simulated. Flushing times are
maximized with increases in depth. For example, Canal V at Big Pine
Key, a doubling of depth increased flushing time from 230 to 660 hours.
A doubling of length effected an increase to 400 hours, while a halving
of the depth decreased the flushing time to 90 hours. Consequently,
if flushing times and assimilative capacities are to be optimized, then
canal depths and lengths (to a lesser extent) must be minimized.
If the "coast line" is identified as the most seaward point of above-
ground vegetation, a point 1/4 of a mile inland to a point 1/4 mile
seaward from this coastline is generally the extremes of the mixing zone
for inland drainage and saline waters. Ground surface/bay bottoms eleva-
tion tapers from approximately +2 to -4 feet mean sea level. Yearly tidal
-------
ranges are on the order of -1 to +2 feet mean sea level with a mean ele-
vation of 1.0 foot. This tidal prism (tide range) then constitutes
70-100 percent of the total water column, thus optimizing mixing and flush-
ing. If depths of -20 feet mean sea level are introduced, only 14 percent
(3/22) of the water column is moved in the tidal excursion. In addition,
the shallow estuaries are mixed by wind-induced circulation; whereas, canals
(deep and narrow) have little potential for appreciable mixing by wind.
The canal systems surveyed varied in depth from eight to twenty-five feet
at mean stage. Obviously, the design depth was predicated upon fill require-
manets and not optimization of tidal flushing. The consequences of poor
flushing were readily demonstrated by the results section of this report.
Salinity stratification in the canals at Punta Gorda, Florida had a
paramount affect on water quality. An example of severe stratification is
given in Figure 1. The data accompanying the figure show the water quality
consequences—i.e., anoxic conditions and nutrient enrichment of the
entrapped and dense saline stratum. In addition, bottom life was eliminated.
Nutrients (nitrogen and .phosphorus) diffusing to the upper layer were ex-
ported from the canal via tidal exchange at a loading rate equivalent to
that produced from a 25,000 to 30,000 gallon per day activated sludge
treatment plant.
Violations of state dissolved oxygen standards were common occurrences
in all canals surveyed in August - September 1974. In Figures two to three,
a summation of dissolved oxygen (DO) observations with respect to depth is
presented for the canal studies involving interior canal stations—background
stations were excluded from figures. In both states, water quality standards
were violated in the canal systems at depths usually exceeding four to five
feet. Datum is mean stage—approximately one foot above mean low water.
Aside from the developmental loads to the canals (septic tank leachate
and runoff), poor flushing characteristics can be identified as the princi-
pal factors affecting the dissolved oxygen budget of the canal systems.
In turn, flushing is functionally related to depth of the canal. Thus.
needed is a determination of an optimum depth that will maximize
canal flushing and meet navigational needs and minimize the potential for
violations of state DO standards. It is recommended that depths be no
more than four to six feet at mean low water.
B. SEPTIC TANKS
The Environmental Protection Agency is endeavoring to enforce "best
practical treatment" in the 1970fs with efforts to obtain "best available
treatment" in the early 1980's. Septic tank/sorption fields may be
viewed as acceptable treatment in the context of rural development where
the purity of the ground and surface waters can be protected. This pro-
tection is safeguarded by adequate sorption field design, long distances
to surface water bodies and relatively low housing unit densities. In
contrast, coastal canal developments maximize housing unit density, and
proximity to surface water bodies and thus eliminates the safeguards
inherent in the rural environments.
-------
A simple mass balance reveals that constituents (chemical, bacterial
and viral) introduced into the sorption field are subject to either retain-
ment in the field, die off (in the case of bacteria and viruses) or
transmitted to ground and surface waters. The prime concern is the
quality of the leachates entering the ground and surface waters.
Results of these studies show in several cases that leachates are
transmitted rapidly to the canal waters. Time of travel measured was four
to sixty hours. The effects of these rapid transmissions were evident
in: (1) high nutrient levels in ground and canal waters, and (2) viola-
tions of bacteriological standards in canal waters. Based on litera-
ture review these relatively short travel times indicate that both viable
bacteria and viruses can enter the canal waters and create a potential
public health problem. Our studies show the potential to be a reality
in many cases, i.e., 2,400,000 fecal colonies per 100 milliliter were
recorded in canal waters near septic tank leach fields during July 1975
at Surf City, NCt Also, the transmission of nutrients to the canals
via contaminated groundwaters must be viewed as being at least partially
responsible for observed ecological imbalances in canal systems.

V. BACKGROUND
The coastal region of the Southeastern United States features
a near continuous belt of wetlands marking the transition zone
between the uplands and estuaries. The wetlands are unified with the
open coast and estuary by tidal waters, thus creating an open ecosystem
in terms of the flow of energy and matter. Only artificial boundaries
exist between ecosystem compartments. By definition, an ecosystem
features a fully integrated, self-maintaining unit, the compartments
of which contribute, in total, to the survival of the system. Each
compartment is characterized by a set of physical, chemical, and
biological constraints, thus making the system unique and limited
in area.
Wetlands are a vital component in the maintenance of ecosystems,
and their importance cannot be overemphasized. Numerous authors (1),
(2), (3), (4), (5), (6) clearly identify the essential role wetlands
play in the maintenance of commercial and sports fisheries in the
estuaries and oceans, as well as their contribution to water quality.
Freshwater is introduced into this mixing zone by overland flow
which originates from inland urban and rural runoff and subsurface flow
which stems from aquifer drainage. These flows vary throughout the
hydroperiod and meet near the coastal fringe to make up the freshwater
input to the estuarine system. Numerous shallow tidal creeks passing
through the coastline provide a broadfront for this combined freshwater
input to the estuary and also provide a nutrient input to the coastal
vegetation. The vegetation in turn takes up nutrients and releases
detrital material and in essence regulates the food chain in the
ecosystem. During periods of either extreme tides (low or high), the
very presence of vegetation and shallow flats of the system buffer the
effects to the upland system.
A current environmental issue concerns the development of
ecologically valuable wetlands for the purpose of creating artificial,
waterfront real estate by the excavation of canals. Two methods of
canal development are prevalent throughout coastal, riverine, and lake
ecosystems of the Southeastern U. S. One method, utilized extensively
in the Carolinas and the northern Gulf coastal area, is the excavation
of an access channel through wetlands either by widening existing tidal
creeks or the creation of a totally new water course. Branching from
such channels may be a "perimeter" canal along the marsh upland ecotone
or a series of extensive canals through the uplands. This method of
development often results in adverse ecological consequences affecting
both wetlands and water quality. The second method of development,
employed extensively in the Florida peninsula and Keys, is the excava-
tion of canals within wetlands. The spoil is used to cover adjoining
wetland and raise elevation for the purpose of residential development.
Environmental alteration and destruction resulting from this type of
-------
14
development are absolute and represent a two-fold threat to the survival
of existing coastal ecosystems. Not only are the multifarious contribu-
tions of the wetland permanently eliminated, they are replaced by a system
that, in most cases, contributes negatively toward maintaining a quality
ecosystem.
Canal systems excavated in lowlands satisfy a purpose incongruent
with the function of the natural system. The purpose is to excavate
channels to accelerate dewatering of wetlands, providing fill and
waterfront property for residential development. The depth of the
channels is primarily governed by fill requirements and not navigational
needs. In light of the natural conditions, the function of the canal
systems is not analagous to tidal creeks, rivers, and marshes. -For
instance, the deep canals accelerate runoff, lower freshwater aquifers,
disrupt nutrient inputs to the vegetative food chain, deny the hydraulic
buffering effect of the shallow flats and probably provide sinks for
nutrients and dense saline waters.
The increased demand for waterfront property coupled with a
dwindling availability of naturally occurring water frontage has
provided the impetus for a proliferation of canal development within
the past decade. A number of factors — such as emphasis on capital
gain for waterfront property plus complete disregard and limited under-
standing of the value and total contributions of wetlands — has allowed
wetland development to proceed largely unrestricted. As the ecological
value and the rate at which wetlands were diminishing became more
apparent to both the public and private sectors, regulatory agencies
were forced to rely on ecological rationales as a basis for judging
environmental risks and liabilities associated with development in areas
rich in aquatic resources.
Prior to October, 1972, federal jurisdiction over wetlands was
provided only by the requirements under Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act of 1899 which covered only permits authorizing works in
navigable waters. Under this Act, protection of wetlands was limited
only to areas below the mean high water line as interpreted by the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers, the permitting agency. Coastal ecosystems
are with valuable biological resources occurring both above and below
mean high water (MHW). The artificial boundary (MHW) left hundreds
of thousands of acres open to development without, or with limited,
regard for ecological ramifications.
Recognition of the value of wetlands by government officials and
concerned citizens prompted legislation directed specifically at the
regulation of development in wetland areas. In some instances, legis-
lation approached wetland protection in an ecological sense by using
plant association, sometimes with accompanying tidal datum to define
jurisdictional limits. This approach naturally extended government
jurisdiction to wetlands above mean high tide in some states.
-------
15
Passage of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of
1972 (PL 92-500) provided the greatest step toward protection of all
wetland areas against indiscriminate destruction by spoil disposal and
other filling activities. Section 301 (a) of this law provided the
requirement of federal permits for discharge of any pollutants into
waters of the United States. In this context dredged spoil and fill
material are considered pollutants. Section 404 of the law provided a
permit system and guidelines to govern the disposal of such material
in navigable waters. Primary attention is directed toward preventing
adverse ecological effects on shellfish, fish, and wildlife habitat
and recreational areas.
The rationale supporting extension of federal jurisdiction to all
wetlands by Section 404 of the law is clear and simple. First,
"navigable waters" are defined by law as "waters of the United States."
Secondly, all coastal, eatuarine, riverine, and lacustrine wetlands
inundated by waters of the U. S. on a normally predictable basis are,
therefore, themselves an extension and integral component of U. S.
waters. Thirdly, and most decisively, the value of wetlands as spawning
and nursery areas for fish and aquatic life, and as wildlife and recrea-
tional areas, as well as in the maintenance of water quality, is
undisputable.
This section of the law is unique in that it requires an assessment
of anticipated ecological consequences paramount to economics and
navigation before final approval or disapproval of a dredge-and-fill
project permit. This rationale represents a reversal of previous
procedure. If ecological quality of aquatic ecosystems is to be
maintained, wetland resources must be preserved. No longer can an
economic yardstick be the ultimate and decisive judgment factor.
Although the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has the responsibility
for administering the Section 404 program, the Environmental Protection
Agency . (EPA) was delegated ultimate authority to deny or restrict
permitted actions destructive to wetlands under Section 404(c). The
Agency's decision toward the preservation of such areas was adopted
soon after delegation of this authority and is set forth in the
Administrator's Decision Statement Number 4, "EPA Policy to Protect
the Nation's Wetlands", dated February 21, 1973. In this statement,
the importance of all wetlands, fresh and saltwater alike, is recognized,
along with their irreplaceability and man's dependence upon them. This
belief is reinforced by the statement of policy to protect all wetlands
from abuse and destruction. Prior to this policy, EPA involvement in
canal development projects was limited primarily to an assessment of
expected water quality repercussion. Now, with the support of congressional
authority and in compliance with overall Agency policy, Region IV of EPA
is committed to an aggressive program of both wetland and water quality
protection.

VI. STUDY AREAS
Five distinctly different geographic areas were investigated during
this study including Punta Gorda, Big Pine Key, Panama City and Marathon,
Florida and Atlantic Beach, North Carolina.
A. PUNTA GORDA. FLORIDA
The first of these areas was near Punta Gorda, Florida located in
the coastal reaches of Charlotte County in West Central Florida. Charlotte
County is the southernmost county in the Southwest Florida Water Manage-
ment District. The streams and drainage canals in Charlotte County drain
into five basins, four of which empty into Charlotte Harbor. The western
portion of the county, in which Punta Gorda is located, has ground eleva-
tions generally less than 10 feet above sea level. Delineation of land
surfaces becomes most difficult in the coastal fringes. Mud flats and
mangrove swamps blend the coastal plains into the shallow Gulf bottoms.
Numerous canal developments have been constructed along the tidal
creeks and low lying salt marsh lands bordering Charlotte Harbor. This
investigation concentrated on one such small canal development along one
of the major tidal creeks, Alligator Creek. This creek drains primarily
low lying lands consisting of salt marsh and mangrove estuarine zones.
Alligator Creek is classified as Florida class III waters, i.e., waters
for recreation, propagation and management of fish and wildlife. Charlotte
Harbor, into which Alligator Creek drains, is classified as class II
waters, i.e., suitable for shellfish harvesting. Appendix A-l contains
these classifications along with the associated water quality criteria.
Two canals located on Alligator Creek were selected for study .
(Figure 4). Both canals (designated Canals I and II) were constructed
in about 1956 and are approximately 2,000 feet long and 7 feet deep.
Canal II has been developed residentially with sparse development along
its shores (12 house with septic tanks). This canal paired with the
totally undeveloped canal (I) provides a comparison of natural aging to
aging influenced by man's intervention.
B. BIG PINE KEY, FLORIDA
The second area investigated was on Big Pine Key, Florida which is
located in the lower keys of Monroe County. Big Pine Key is bordered
by the Straights of Florida on the south and east and by Florida Bay
and the Gulf of Mexico on the north and west. Ground surfaces generally
are less than 5 feet above sea level and composed primarily of marine
deposits of very permeable limestone known as Miami Oolite. As in the
Punta Gorda area, delineation of land surfaces is most difficult along
the coastal fringes. Limerock surfaces blend into sparse mangrove stands
and, subsequently, into shallow oceanic bottoms. Waters in the Big Pine
Key area are class III waters, i.e., waters for recreation, propagation and
management of fish and wildlife.
-------
17
Freshwater aquifers are nearly non-existent in the Florida Keys.
Big Pine Key homeowners generally receive their freshwater supply from
the Florida Aqueduct Authority via pipage which lies above the rocky
surface.
At several locations on Big Pine Key, waterfront homesites have been
provided by finger-fill canal developments. The typical construction
method employed has been to excavate the Oolitic limestone and to
utilize the spoil to elevate homesites along the canal banks. This
investigation concentrated on one such development, Doctors Point sub-
division, located on the eastern side of Big Pine Key (Figure 5). In
this area, 8 houses with septic tanks are located along one canal system
(Canal IV, Figure 6). Nearby is a recently constructed, undeveloped
system (Canal III, Figure 6). Comparisons were made between these two
systems both of which were approximately 10 feet deep and less than a
quarter of a mile in length.
C. MARATHON. FLORIDA
The third site investigated was the Sea Air Estates subdivision at
Marathon, Florida, located on Vaca Key (Figure 7). GeneraL topography
and soil types are similar to those at Big Pine Key. Canals at this
location are of typical box-cut construction with depths of approximately
16-25 feet mean low water. Lateral or finger canals are approximately
1,500 feet long and open into a large basin which has an irregular
bottom with depths approaching 25 feet. The basin originated as a borrow
pit. Very little home building has taken place at this location.
D. ATLANTIC BFACH, NORTH CAROLINA
The fourth area, Atlantic Beach, is located in Carteret County and
separated from the mainland by Bogue Sound (Figure 8). The surface of
the sandy loam soils of the study area is generally 0-10 feet above
mean sea level.
Much of the area has been developed into high density mobile home
subdivisions. Waterfront access has been provided by dredging and filling
Spartina and Juncxis marshlands.
One such development was investigated at Atlantic Beach (Figure 9).
This development was predominately mobile homes with a few houses and
motel units which use septic tanks/drainfields to treat wastewaters.
Canal depths were approximately 6-20 feet and lengths were 1,200 to 3,000
feet. Waters in and around the development carry the highest North Carolina
classification, SA (Shellfish Harvesting - Appendix A-2).
Three additional sites were investigated in this North Carolina area
(Figures 8 and 9). The first was a condominium community located approxi-
mately one mile northeast of the previously discussed Atlantic Beach site.

This is served by a wastewater treatment system and has canal depths and
lengths of 8 and 2,000 feet respectively. The second was located on
the mainland side of Bogue Sound at Spooners Creek. Septic tanks/drain-
fields provide treatment of sanitary wastes at the Spooners Creek area.
The third site is near Emerald Isle. Only limited sampling was carried
out at this site. Waters at all of these sites are classified SA; however,
the Spooners Creek area is closed to shellfish harvesting due to elevated
coliform bacteria counts.
E. PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA
The fifth and final study area was at Panama City in the Florida
panhandle. Two canal developments surveyed at this area were the Woodlawn
and Hentz canals (depths of 10 feet or less) located on the west side of
St. Andrews Bay and on the east side of St. Andrews Bay in Pretty Bayou,
respectively. The Woodlawn Canal is approximately 20 years old with
all of its adjacent lots (45) developed. Sewage treatment is afforded
by a central sewerage system which discharges into St. Andrews Bay at
a point just north of the Woodlawn canal mouth. The canal systems are
shown in Figure 10.
The Hentz Canal is approximately 10 years old. There are 33 houses
adjacent to the canals. Approximately 5% of the lots adjacent to the
Hentz Canal are undeveloped. Septic tanks and sorption fields are the
mode of wastewater disposal in this area.

VII. STUDY RESULTS
A. TIDAL EXCHANGE STUDIES
A dye tracer was used to compare tidal flushing rates for finger
fill canals of various lengths, depths and widths and to gather data
for verification of predictive mathematical models (Section H) . The
basic procedure was to inject Rhodamine WT dye, measure the dye cloud
configuration with respect to time, compute dispersion coefficients
for input into the mathematical models and then verify the models with
field measured time-history concentration curves and mass decay rates.
1. Dispersion
Flushing of a contaminant from a canal system is accomplished by
both advective and dispersive transport mechanisms. Advective transport
is controlled by velocities generated by -tides and inflows from external
sources. Dispersive transport is governed by many factors including
wind induced turbulence, salinity and temperature gradients, and tidal
velocity. Simple mathematical techniques can be used to describe advec-
tive transport, but dispersive transport predictions are more difficult.
Field measurements of dye clouds can be applied to one dimensional
mass transfer equations to calculate dispersion coefficients. The
following equation is generally used to describe concentration gradients
(7).
IS. „ °L 1_ -CA3c) „ 9c +s
3t T~ 3x ^T ^ 9x" -S (Eq- D
For an instantaneous release of mass at x » 0, the above equation
integrates to the form:
M (x-ut)2 (Eq- 2)
- A T\ t
L
where; Cx t - tracer concentration at distance x and elapsed time t
M = mass of dye released
A = cross sectional area of channel
DL » longitudinal dispersion coefficient
t = elapsed time from tracer release
u » velocity of flow
The peak concentration occurs at a distance ut with a magnitude
equal to:
M (Eq- 3)
-------
27
Concentrations upstream and downstream from the peak decrease with
distance by:
cx t "
4 DLt
where Cp = peak concentration.
Ideally in a flowing stream an instantaneous release of tracer would
form a cloud (described by equations 1-4) which would have a longitudinal
concentration gradient in the form of a bell shaped curve skewed in the
downstream direction. The curve would flatten with time as it moves
downstream. The "flattening" of the concentration curve is a measure
of the dispersion coefficient. In a dead-end canal system with little
or no net inflow, the peak concentration is translated downstream only
slightly and the bell-shaped concentration curve is not allowed to expand
upstream. Instead, the mass of tracer is mixed with and expelled in
the tidal prism governed by the oscillating tides. With time, the peak
flattens and becomes indistinguishable as the tracer continues to flush
from the canal system.
In order to measure longitudinal dispersion coefficient and flushing
rates, dye was injected into two canals at Punta Gorda, three canals at
Big Pine Key, and two canals at Atlantic Beach. Injections of dye were
made at high slack tide as a point source at mid -depth in the canals.
The time history of dye concentrations was measured using a boat -mounted
flow-through microfluorometer. The fluorometer was calibrated with dye
standards in the range of 1 to 500 ppb and adjusted for background
fluorescence following each sampling run. Canals I and II (Figure 11) ,
III, IV and V (Figure 12) and VI and VII (Figure 13) were used in the
dye studies. The longitudinal points of dye injection were varied in an
attempt to ascertain any differences in dispersion in similar canals,
particularly in the. case of Canals III and V (Table I) .

Prior to the dye injections, stage recorders were installed in the
three study areas. Diurnal tides with a range of approximately 2.4 feet
were measured at Punta Gorda (Figure 14). At Big Pine Key, semi-diurnal
tides with a range of approximately 1 foot were measured (Figure 13), and
at Atlantic Beach, semi-diurnal tides with a range of approximately 2.1
feet were measured (Figure 16). A recording fathometer was used to measure
the longitudinal and cross sectional configurations of each of the canals
(Figures 17, 18 and 19). These sections along with the tidal recordings
allowed for volume calculations at any time so that dye concentrations
could be related to dye mass.
Figures 20 through 26 describe the time history of the dye concen-
trations in Canals I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII respectively. The
typical bell shaped durve is seen only in Figure 24 (Canal V) and then
only at t - 12 and 15 hours. Figure 27 presents the time history of
dye concentrations in Canal I relative to various canal locations. The
tracer was found to be well mixed throughout the canal cross sections.
Longitudinal dispersion coefficients calculated from the time-history
concentration curves are presented in Table II along with dispersion cor.
efficients derived by an empirical method, described by O'Connor et al.,
(8), i.e.,
DL = 5.2 (u max)4/3 4/3 law (Eq - 5)
where
DL • Dispersion coefficient in sq mile/day.
u max - Maximum tidal velocity at the section in knots.
In Table II, Method A is simply the ratio of the surface area covered
by the dye cloud to the elapsed time since the dye injection.
Method B is derived from equation 4. The slope of the line obtained by
plotting An C/C VS (X-ut)2 is given by l_ .
4V
DL is obtained by measuring the slope and solving; slope - 1
4DLtt
The final calculation (method C) is from the solution of the equation
for peak concentration (Eq 4) .

JL/ distance for which the 4/3 law calculation was made as measured
seaward from the dead end. Since the dispersion coefficient is
dependent upon velocity, the coefficient becomes larger toward
the canal mouths.
Table II shows the empirical method (4/3 law) for calculating longi-
tudinal dispersion coefficients at mid-length locations reasonably approxi-
mates the field-measured dispersion coefficients. This similarity was
evident at all the canals except Canal VII and, to a lesser extent, Canal
VI where field measured coefficients were several times smaller than
empirical predictions. Also, when other dispersive driving forces, (i.e.,
wind, salinity and temperature gradients) are large, the applicability
of the empirical value diminishes because it is not considered in the
4/3 law.
Table III provides a comparison of longitudinal dispersion coefficients
computed for several well-known estuaries by Thoman et al. (7). Note
that the dispersion coefficients decrease as the heads of Che estuaries
are approached. However, these coefficients are much greater than observed
in this study (Table II), thus showing the autocorrelation of diminishing
dispersion coefficients with decreasing aerial dimensions of the water body.

The mid length dispersion coefficients in Table II were used in the
mathematical models to be discussed later.
2. Tidal Flushing
The rate at which a contaminant is transported out of a canal is
usually expressed in terms of flushing time. In this section flushing
times will be calculated from the dye study data and will be compared to
flushing predictions using a "tidal prism" technique.
Time history dye concentrations (Figures 20 - 24, Florida 1973)
coupled with respective canal volumes were used to calculate flushing
curves (Figure 28). The curves were fitted by standard regression analysis
of the general equation for a power function;
Y = AtB (Eq- 6)
Where
Y = Mass of tracer at time t x 10Q
original mass of tracer
t = elapsed time since dye dump
A & B are constants
A least squares comparison of difference in flushing rates in paired
canals were tested for significant differences (Table IV).
TABLE IV
Comparison of Canal Flushing Rates by Least Square Analysis
Big Pine Key and Punta Gorda, Florida, November 1973
Probability of having
Paired Canals different flushing rate
III VS IV >80%
III VS V <50%
I VS II >99%
I VS III >99%
As shown in Table IV, flushing rates of the five Florida canals varied
considerably. Identical canals (i.e., Ill and V at Big Pine Key) showed
nearly identical rates even though dye Injections were made at 50 feet and
100 feet from the dead-end in the respective canals. It is important
to note that the elapsed time at which dye began exiting the canals varied
from 5.3 hours to 27 hours. The earlier time is associated with an injec-
tion 650 feet from the dead-end of a 2000 foot canal and the later time
is for an injection 100 feet from the dead-end in a 2500 foot canal. Both
canals were at Punta Gorda. ,
-------
32
These flushing rates were used to verify mathematical modeling
techniques. However, prior to discussing mathematical modeling, a tidal
prism method for determining flushing rates will be compared to the dye
measurements.
The tidal prism technique for predicting flushing rates is based
on the ratio of canal low water volume to the volume of water exchanged
during the tidal cycle (tidal prism)j
C-kt) (Kq- 7)
where;
M. = mass at time t
M = original mass
VL * volume at low water
T - tidal prism volume
a = mixing constant
N = number of tidal cycles
g-kt = mass decay due to photochemical reaction,
absorption, etc.
The above equation was solved by assuming a mixing coefficient (assumed
to be one,i.e., complete mixing) and a mass decay coefficient (k). Decay
coefficient for Rhodamine dye subjected to bright sunlight conditions was
found to be -0.0224 per hour (9). Tidal prism flushing rates using this
photochemical decay rate adjusted for light penetration are compared to
field-measured flushing rates (Table V).

V Big Pine Key 26 37 170 125
*NOTE-flushing times for a conservative contaminant (no decay) will be
discussed in the "modeling" section.
-------
33
Flushing times computed by the tidal prism technique are not entirely
predictive of actual flushing times, but their application as a quick
approximation should be considered. Since this method simply compares
the ratio of the tidal prism volume to the low water volume, it does not
adequately describe flushing differences in canals having equal cross
sectional areas but unequal lengths.
Dispersion factors and flushing times are two important indices of
mixing forces and residence of pollutants in aquatic systems. Time and
resources are not always available to field measure these parameters.
Therefore, reliable empirical means are extremely valuable. Predictive
equations such as the ones discussed in this section do not always
prove reliable. However, with judicious screening and verification,
mathematical predictions are invaluable. An example from this study is
the use of 4/3 law (Eq- 5 and Table II). This method of calculating dis-
persion, coefficients has proven reliable in the context that it was used.
If salinity or temperature stratification had been encountered in the
canal system, the use of this equation would not have been warranted.
Both of these characteristics as well as wind-induced shear velocities
tend to increase the apparent dispersion.

These studies were designed to provide basic water quality data
for the selected developed and undeveloped dead-end canal systems.
Investigations were conducted at the locations shown and dates indicated
in the following Table (VI):

I/ - Numerical notation indicates primary stations; other notations
designate secondary sampling sites.
Studies were conducted over complete tidal cycles except at Emerald
Isles, where two sets of grab samples were taken. Water quality samples
were collected during periods of slack tide from mid-channel, mid-depth
sampling locations. In addition, vertical salinity, temperature and
dissolved oxygen profiles (one foot increments) were determined every three
hours.
At primary stations, sampling extended through a complete 24-hour
tidal cycle. Secondary stations, i.e., alphabetized station designations
at Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key, received sampling once or twice at
slack tides. Routinely, samples for chemical analyses were obtained with
a Kemmerer Sampler at mid-channel and from mid-depth. All samples received
appropriate preservation at time of collection and then were returned to
our laboratory in Athens, Georgia. Analytical processing (using EPA
methods) included determinations for the following constituents:
• Heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn)
• Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
• Nitrogen (TKN, NH3, N02-N03, As N)
-------
53
• Total Phosphorus (T-Phos as P)
• Suspended and Volatile Solids (TSS and VSS)
• Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5).
Summaries of analysis are provided in Tables VII thru XV and data
tabulation in Appendices B and C.
These water quality studies were designed to provide information
relative to the following concerns:
• Vertical and longitudinal distributions of temperature, salinity
and dissolved oxygen in dead-end canal systems.
• Water quality characteristics of developed and undeveloped
dead-end canal systems.
1. Salinity. Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen
Estuaries by definition are mixing zones4 for sea and fresh waters.
Temperature and salinity differences of these waters result in longitudinal
gradients often characterized by vertical stratification. Such stratifica-
tion has pronounced effects on biotic forms, mixing patterns, and subsequently
on the dissolved oxygen regime.
During the November 1973 studies, salinity and temperature were
essentially constant throughout the water column at all sampling stations
at the Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key study areas (Figures 36 through 44).
Salinities at mid-depth sampling locations ranged from 28 to 29 ppt and
38 to 39 ppt at the Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key locations, respectively.
Salinity concentrations and temperatures were generally lower at
Punta Gorda than at Big Pine Key because of upland drainage area and lower
ambient air temperatures. At both Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key, salinities
were somewhat greater in the undeveloped (no dwelling units along the
canal banks) canals than that recorded in the developed waterways. At
Punta Gorda, these differences may stem from the fact that the developed
canals (Stations 5-7) were located further upstream and, therefore,
merely reflected greater influence from upland drainage. At Big Pine
Key, the lower salinities found in the developed canal appeared to be re-
lated to lower flushing rates; therefore, freshwater infiltration, whether
due to storm runoff or septic tank drainage, would tend to be retained in
the system for longer periods. The tidal exchange studies show the
developed canal (III) to maintain a 50 percent greater flushing capability.
During periods of higher than normal groundwater tables and Increased
upland runoff, the salinity regime and biotic communities at the Punta
Gorda canals would be expected to shift considerably, while at Big Pine Key
-------
54
salinities would remain relatively stable throughout the year since
runoff and freshwater aquifer drainage are minimal.
At Punta Gorda, in November 1973, all stations exhibited a diel DO
variation indicative of plant photosynthesis and respiration. Greatest
DO concentrations occurred during daylight hours when plant oxygen produc-
tion exceeded respiration. Minimum DO concentrations were measured during
early morning hours when respiration prevailed (Figures 45 and 46, Appendix
B-l.l). Surface and bottom DO concentrations generally differed by less
than 0.5 mg/1. This stratification, even though small, is evidence of
benthic oxygen demands. Absence of adequate light for photosynthesis
would exclude the presence of benthic plants.
The Charlotte Harbor Station (4) exhibited pronounced diel DO concen-
tration variations ranging from 7.5 to 4.8 mg/1. This station may be
reflecting the respiration requirements of the dense vegetation (Ulva)
colonizing the adjoining tidal flats. The channel bottom at the station
was fairly well scoured. There were negligible differences between the
surface and bottom DO concentrations due to the shallowness of this area
(approximately 3 feet deep).
A decrease in DO concentrations was exhibited in the developed canal
at Punta Gorda from its mouth (5.0) to its dead-end (3.7). This depression
was 1.3 mg/1. For the undeveloped canal, concentration difference from
the mouth to the dead end was only 0.2 mg/1; all values exceeded 4.0 mg/1.
Dissolved oxygen standard violation in the developed canal was restricted
to the dead-end reach.
Dissolved oxygen profiles were run once during the study at five
additional stations (A, B, C, D and E) convenient to the study site. These
stations are further inland and in some cases had a greater degree of resi-
dential development along their banks (Figure 29). DO regimes for.these
stations fell within the DO ranges demonstrated at the seven previously
discussed stations at Punta Gorda (Figures 47-49).
Dissolved oxygen concentrations at Big Pine Key stations are shown
in Figure 50 for an undeveloped canal (Stations 8-10) and in Figure 51
for a developed canal (Stations 12-14). DO fluctuations, in general,
followed typical diel variation indicative of plant photosynthesis and
respiration.
Vertical DO stratification was much more pronounced in the developed
canal than in the undeveloped canal. The mid-length station (No. 13) in
the developed canal exhibited the greatest degree of vertical stratifica-
tion with a maximum surface to bottom difference of 1.2 mg/1 occurring
at 0118 hours on November 18, 1973.
In general, DO concentration decreased in both canals from the mouth
to the dead end. The DO concentration at the dead end of the developed
canal was usually 1 mg/1 lower than .a comparable location in the undeveloped
canal, although flushing studies show the latter canal to be a better
mixed system.
-------
55
Two additional dead-end stations (F and 6) were sampled at Big Pine
Key during the DO profile studies. Both stations were located on
developed canals (Figure 30). The lowest DO concentration (3.4 mg/1)
occurred near the bottom at Station F at approximately the same time (0555
hours) as the lowest DO (4.0 mg/1) recorded at Station 12. The highest
DO concentrations at Station F and 12 also occurred concurrently, and
were 5.2 and 5.6 mg/1, respectively, at approximately 1700 hours.
Large quantities of marine grasses/algae covered the water surface
from the middle to the end of the canal where Station 6 was located. These
marine plants entrapped in this canal had been blown in from Bogie Channel
and Big Spanish Channel and were in various stages of decomposition. Other
canals at the time of our studies were spared this surface accumulation
of vegetation and trash. The floating mat was 1-3 feet thick and gave
off septic odors. Dissolved oxygen measurements (Table XVI) indicated
that a significant oxygen demand was exerted at both the surface and
bottom of the water column at this station.
A study conducted by the Florida Department of Pollution Control (FDPC)
in April 1973 (10) documented surface and bottom DO concentrations of 2.3
and 1.4 mg/1 respectively at this same location (Station G). At the time
of the FDPC study, seagrasses and marine algae along with dead sponges
and trash were observed at this station.
Table XVII presents a comparison of DO concentrations at the four dead-
end canal stations sampled. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were lower
in all three developed canal dead-end stations (12, F and G) than in the
undeveloped canal dead-end station (8). Station G exhibited the most
severe DO deficits due to decomposition of entrapped marine plant life.
The second study.in August 1974. at Punta Gorda revealed the dynamic
seasonal effects of freshwater drainage on canal mixing patterns. Canals
at Punta Gorda, excavated well below the grade of the natural estuarine
bottoms, proved to be a sink for dense saline waters. Severe salinity
stratification in the caaal systems lead to water quality consequences
because of poor vertical mixing. The consequences are readily demonstrated
in the dissolved oxygen data (Figures 52 thru 55). At all stations, mini-
mum DO concentrations were below state standards,and in addition, average
concentrations violated standards except at the mouth of the undeveloped
canal and the Charlotte Harbor stations.
Salinity stratification prohibited the required oxygen transfer and
resulted in anoxic conditions in both the developed and undeveloped canals;
however, the extent of the anoxic conditions in the developed canals was
due to added carbonaceous and nitrogenous oxygen demand in the developed
areas.
-------
56
Salinity stratification was not apparent in the August 1974 sampling
of the Big Pine Key stations. The quantity of freshwater runoff was
insufficient to develop the required density gradient for detection.
The qualitative differences between DO concentrations in the developed
canal (stations 12-14, F "and G) , undeveloped canal (Stations 8-10),and
background (Station 11) were parallel to those found in the November 1973
study (Figures 56 thru 60). The DO suppressions had increased drastically
between the two sampling periods as was the case in Punta Gorda. Stations
8, 9 and 10, undeveloped canal sampling locations and station 11, background
location,did not violate DO standards; however, with the exception of
station 13, all developed canal stations (12, 14, F and G) violated standards
(Figures 56 thru 60). In the absence of salinity stratification, DO
depressions below standards were attributed to a combination of factoos
such as higher water temperatures (lower DO solubility) and reduced benthic
plant life. Also to be considered is the fact that the developed canal
featured more sources of organic carbon and nitrogen plus longer flushing
times.
Sea Air Estates at Marathon, Florida (Figure 31) was sampled in August
1974. All canal stations violated state DO standards. This system was
extremely deep (maximum of 25 feet) with essentially no development along
its banks. Dissolved oxygen suppressions would best be related to poor
flushing and possibly to transfer of anoxde aquifer waters into the canal
system. Likewise, no salinity stratification was evidenced in this system
in the Florida Keys (Figures 61, 62 and 63).
Salinity, temperature and DO measurements were taken in canal systems
at Atlantic Beach and at Spooners Creek near Morehead City, North Carolina
in September 1974 (Figures 33 and 34). The degree of development along
the canal banks and the depth of the canal system again proved to be the
dominant factor in DO concentrations. Stations 1-5 at Atlantic Beach
had DO concentrations violating standards while background stations 6 and
7 exceeded standards (Figures 64 thru 67). Station 8, 9 and 10 in an un-
developed canal system met DO standards (Figures 67 and 68).
Violations of DO standards in the interior canal stations (1, 2, 3
and 4) in the developed canal can be attributed in part to salinity strati-
fication and also in part to oxygen demand for the stabilization of
nitrogenous and carbonaceous materials. In light of the high density
of the dwelling units and their use of septic tank systems, the source
of these oxygen-demanding materials is readily apparent. Figure 69
taken from a January 1973 aerial photograph relates the dwelling unit
density to average water column DO concentrations (September 1974).
At Spooners Creek, Stations (1, 2 and 3) violated DO standards while
stations (4, 5 and 6) were able to meet or exceed standards (Figures 70,
71 and 72). In general, background stations average DO concentrations were
20% higher than the interior canal stations, 6.5 and 5.4 respectively.
Although a salinity gradient existed in the water column in the interior
canal stations (1, 2 and 3) no stratification occurred.
-------
57
2. Biochemical Oxygen Demand
Five-day biochemical oxygen demands (BODij) are reported for only the
November 1973 studies conducted at Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key, Florida.
These analyses were eliminated from the further surveys because of limited
manpower and facilities.
At Punta Gorda, average BODij concentrations for all canal stations
ranged from 0.8 to 1.8 mg/1 with a single exception at Station A where
4.0 mg/1 was observed. Station A represented an extreme interior canal
location which was well developed relative to Canal II, and was in close
proximity to U. S. Highway 41 (Figure 29). No appreciable differences
were found between the developed and undeveloped canal stations.
Big Pine Key mean concentrations of BOD5 in the developed canals were
0.8 mg/1 while in the undeveloped system BODj concentrations averaged 0.5
mg/1. These low concentrations indicate that both systems were relatively
free of organic pollution.
3. Total Organic Carbon
The two survey periods (November 1973 and August 1974) for the
Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key Canals provide a basis for comparing seasonal
changes in water quality. In November, the mean total organic carbon
(TOC) concentration for Punta Gorda Canal stations was 8.1 mg/1 with a
range of 7.6 to 8.4 mg/1. These concentrations were nearly doubled in
the August 1974 survey (mean of 15 mg/1 and range of 14 to 22 mg/1).
The seasonal flux in TOC concentrations was not unexpected based on
results of detrital transport studies in the Ten Thousand Island region
of southwestern Florida (5). During the wet season (about June thru
September), surface runoff transported untold quantities of carbon
bearing materials that would otherwise remain landlocked during the
dry season (October through May) to the estuarine areas. With the coming
of the wet season, the two study canals (I and II) were vertically
stratified by August as shown in the profile studies.
To facilitate water quality comparisons between stations and canals,
when stratified, weighted averages for the entire water column are provided
in Table XVIII. The averaging procedure is the following:

In November, TOC concentrations in the undeveloped waterway (Canal I)
averaged about 9 percent greater than those found in the developed system
(Canal II). The elevated TOC concentrations observed for Canal I (undevel-
oped) in November could simply have been related to its position in
the Alligator Creek drainage system (Figure 29). At this time, surface
land runoff would undoubtedly constitute a minor factor contributing to
the TOC regime in terms of allochthonous inputs. More appropriately,
the organic carbon pool of the 'canal systems would be linked to autoch-'
thonous sources which include detri'tus from mangrove forests, salt marshes
and possibly septic tank sorption field leachate. The potential for
septic systems as carbon sources in the Alligator Creek area is clearly
demonstrated in the results of the^leachate studies.
In August the TOC picture reversed with respect to the canals. The
developed waterway (Canal II) had an average TOC concentration nearly
9 percent greater than that found in the undeveloped system (Canal I).
The inflow of freshwater to the developed canal was evident in the salinity
studies (Table IX). As noted in the mass exchange studies, the developed
canal was importing quantities of organic carbon substantially higher in
value than the undeveloped system.
The seasonal changes in organic carbon concentrations were also evi-
dent for the canals in the Big Pine Key study areas, although the seasonal
trend was reversed from that experienced at Punta Gorda. - Higher concen-
trations were observed in November than in August (average of 4.3 mg/1
and 2.1 mg/1, respectively). The'seasonal shift in TOC levels was
apparently not related to land runoff; November is considered a period
of the dry season. Also, land runoff even during the wet season is not
viewed as a major source of organic matter simply because of the limited
size of the drainage area of Big Pine Key, the nature of the terrestrial
plant community, and chemical composition of the soil. Hence, the TOC
pool associated with the canal system would basically be dependent on autoch-
thonous sources such as detritus from seagrasses and macroalgae colonizing
in the canals. This discussion point is tentatively verified by the mass
exchange studies. In both cases Canals III and IV were exporting organic
carbon from the system. Thus, a seasonal flux in TOC levels in Canals III
(undeveloped) and IV (developed) would probably be related to seasonal
trends in marine plant community productivity.
As indicated, greater levels of TOC were observed in the November
survey. Likewise, a greater standing crop of benthic plants was recorded
in November for the two canals. Table XIX shows the observed seasonal
changes in plant biomass to observed TOC concentrations with respect to
the two waterways.
At Sea-Air Estates in Marathon, Florida, TOC concentrations for
all stations sampled averaged from 1.0 to 1.2 mg/1. Little differences
in TOC levels were apparent between canal and background stations
(Table XIII). However, the general concentrations of organic carbon
found was substantially less than those observed at Big Pine Key during
this same period. The relationship between benthic plant biomass and
TOC concentrations presented for the Big Pine Key canals can be extended
-------
59
to the Sea-Air Estate system. The Sea-Air Estate canal system was extremely
deep (16 to 25 feet) and virtually void of benthic macrophytes and algae.
Some macrophytes colonized the vertical slopes of the finger canals;
however, no apparent export of TOG was taking place, but rather an
import of organic carbon (see mass exchange study data).
Total organic carbon concentrations for canal stations (1 to 5 and
9, 10) at the Atlantic Beach location averaged 3.4 mg/1 with non-canal
stations (6, 7, 8) averaging 2.7 mg/1. Comparing the two averages, the
canal stations were about 25 percent higher in TOG levels. To compare
average TOG concentrations for different stages of canal development the
following is provided:
Stage of Development Stations Avg. TOC Cone, mg/1
Heavily developed canal 1, 2, 3 4.3
Lightly developed canal 4, 5 3.2
Undeveloped 9, 10 2.8
Non-canal 6» 7, 8 2.7
Sources of organic carbon to the canal systems might be better
envisioned after reviewing Figure 33 and considering the environmental
surroundings of each canal system. The heavily developed canal system
is flanked on all sides by commercial and residential units employing
septic tank systems for wastewater disposal. Leachate tracing studies
in this area demonstrated that effluent from the treatment systems
rapidly enter the canals; thus, leachates coupled with storm runoff
were sources of the TOG pool of the developed canals. Other sources to
the organic carbon pool would be material imported to the system via tidal
exchange. In the case of the undeveloped canal, septic tank systems
were absent, but the canal was entirely flanked on one side with dense
Spartina marsh subject to daily flushing. Organic carbon in the form of
plant detritus would thus be entrained from the marsh into the canal's
export regime. This was evident in the mass exchange study at station 10.
Total organic carbon concentrations found in the Spooners Creek
canals were on the average nearly 40 percent greater than those observed
for the non-canal stations (3.0 mg/1 and 2.1 mg/1 respectively). Spooners
Creek remains an active tidal creek which ultimately drains Juncus and
freshwater marsh areas. Development by residential units utilizing septic
tank systems is relatively light.
Average organic carbon concentrations found in the two Panama City
canals were comparable to levels reported for the November survey at
Punta Gorda (8.7 versus 8.1 mg/1, respectively). The Hentz Canal main-
tained an average TOC concentration nearly 20 percent greater than that
found in the Woodlawn system and 32 percent higher than background
(Stations D, E and F).
The former canal serves residential units utilizing septic tanks.
Compared to background concentrations at Stations D, E, and F, similar
levels were found in the Woodlawn canal.
-------

4. Nitrogen and Phosphorus
In November 1973, ammonia nitrogen (NHg-N) concentrations at Punta
Gorda were 10 to 110 percent greater in the developed canal stations than
those of the undeveloped canals—i.e., 0.09 to 0.17 mg/1 vs 0.08 mg/1,
respectively. Nitrite-nitrate nitrogen concentrations were two to four
times greater in the developed canal than in the undeveloped canal—i.e.,
0.027 to 0.042 mg/1 vs 0.01 to 0.15 mg/1, respectively. Kjeldahl
nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations were similar in the paired
canals. However, Stations A and D and Stations A and B had above back-
ground levels of Kjeldahl and nitrite-nitrate nitrogen, respctively.
Total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations are shown on Figure
73.
In August 1974, the developed canal continued to maintain greater
concentrations of nitrogen (NHo, NC^-NC^, TKN). This seasonal change
(November to August) produced a sharp increase in the magnitude of the
concentrations. For example, ammonia increased more than 20 fold at the
developed canal dead-end location (Station 5). The principal environmental
factor responsible for the marked increase in nitrogen was vertical salinity
stratification. The density gradient (stratification) minimized vertical
mixing of the water column; thus, the bottom layer became stagnant and
physically isolated in many respects. Biological processes, however,
proceeded with continued respirational demands for oxygen. As the
dissolved oxygen was depleted, aerobic respiration transitions to anaero-
bic metabolism. In-'the latter mode, N0_-N03 and SO, ions became the
source of oxygen for microbial respiration which ultimately lead to the
production of ammonia and sulfide. The microbic community must have
a supply of carbon in addition to oxygen. In this case, organic carbon
was abundant either as sediment or suspended particulate matter. Also,
as the system becomes anoxic phosphorus is released from the sediments.
Released phosphorus freely mixes with and enriches the accompanying
waters.
The total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations (mg/1) found
at the dead-end and mid-canal stations are given in the following summary;
(also see figures 73 and 74).
-------
61
Canal Station Total Nitrogen Total Phosphorus
Nov 73 Aug 74 Nov 73 Aug 74
Background, Station 4 0.3 0.7 0.2 0.3
Canal I (undeveloped), 0.3 2.2 0.2 0.9
Stations 1 and 2
Canal II (developed), 0.4 4.3 0.2 1.1
Stations 5 and 6
An accounting of the allochthonous inputs (building site and street
runoff and septic tank leachates) to the developed canal can be approxi-
mated by comparing their nutrient loads to those of the undeveloped
canal. The nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations of Canal I subtracted
from those of Canal II and then multiplied by the volume of Canal II
reveals an excess (as compared to the undeveloped canal) of 109 pounds
of nitrogen and 10 pounds of phosphorus in August 1974.
These above nutrient poundages can be converted to population
equivalents by the following reported (11 & 12) conversions; 0.04 pounds
per capita per day and 0.003 pounds per capit'a per day for nitrogen
and phosphorus, respectively. This conversion yields an accumulation
of 2,731 and 3,467 man-days of nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively,
in the developed canal. Since there are approximately 25 people occupy-
ing this reach of the developed canal, the nutrient accumulation is
approximately 100 days or 16 weeks. This period is a reasonable esti-
mate of the period of major rainfall leading to stratification and
entrapment of nutrients in the canal systems.
The above mass balance indicates that these accumulated nutrients
will either be expelled to the receiving waters pnce the stratification is
relieved or accumulated to some extent in the benthic deposits. This
latter event would seem unlikely in view of the low C to N ratios reported
in the sediment studies
•"During the November 1973 Big Pine Key studies, only the ammonia
nitrogen concentrations indicated any differences in nutrient levels
between developed and undeveloped canals, with averages of 0.07 and
0.04 mg/1, respectively. This difference could be attributed to several
factors such as natural variations, lack of analytical preciseness, or
even enrichment from septic tank drainage. Total nitrogen and total
phosphorus concentrations for the Big Pine Key stations are shown on
Figure' 75.
-------
62
In August 1974, the average ammonia nitrogen concentrations for all
Big Fine Key stations was 0.10 mg/1 which represented a doubling of the
November 1973 averages for ammonia (Table VIII and X). As in November,
the developed waterway (Canal IV) continued to maintain greater levels
of ammonia as compared to the undeveloped canal (Canal III) . No seasonal
changes were apparent for the other nitrogen forms or for total phosphorus.
Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations are shown for all stations
on Figure 76.
At the Sear-Air Estates location, nitrogen concentrations did not
vary significantly between stations within the canal system. Both
ammonia and Kjeldahl nitrogen, however, were 20 to 30 percent greater
in canal stations than in the non-canal station (Station 19). Also,
these two forms of nitrogen were found in substantially lower concentra-
tions than those reported for the Big Pine Key canals. The opposite
was true for N02~NCs nitrogen, which averaged 0.05 mg/1 at Sea-Air
Estates and 0.01 mg/1 at Big Pine Key.
During the studies at Panama City, total nitrogen levels
for the Woodlawn waterway were generally higher in values compared to
background and the Hentz canal system (Table XII).' The higher concen-
trations probably reflecting the influence of a sewage treatment plant
which discharged at a point just north of the Woodland Canal entrance.
Nitrogen concentrations decrease landward. In the Hentz canal, total
nitrogen concentrations were about 20 percent less than observed for the
background area in Pretty Bayou (Station F) . The opposite trend was
apparent for the Hentz canal. Phosphorus concentrations averaged 3 to
4 times the concentrations found at either the background stations or
the Woodland Canal (0.8 versus 0.13 mg/1 and 0.03 mg/1, respectively).
Total nitrogen concentration for the Atlantic Beach canal stations
(1 to 5) averaged approximately 40 percent greater than averaged background
levels found at Stations 6, 7 and 8 (0.29 and 0.21 mg/1, respectively).
For the undeveloped canal (Stations 9 and 10) , the average for total
nitrogen was 0.22 mg/1 and was about 14 percent greater, than background.
Total nitrogen levels (TKN+N02-N03) reported 'for the canal systems
appeared related to vertical depths of each waterway and possibly reflects
the organic: nitrogen assimilation capacity of each system (Table XX).
Also Indicated in this table, total nitrogen and organic carbon concen-
trations follow a distribution related to average DO of the water column.
In this case, DO was primarily a function of depth as shown in the DO.
profile studies. The inverse relationship of depth to organic carbon,
total nitrogen, and dissolved oxygen as shown in Table XX indicates the
ability of shallower canals, based on better mixing, to assimilate the
detrital load.
-------
63
Kjeldahl and ammonia nitrogen at the Spooners Creek study site
averaged 0.25 and 0.06 mg/1 for the canal stations (1, 2 and 3).
The non-canal station (5) had levels of Kjeldahl and ammonia nitrogen
of 0.16 and 0.03 mg/1, respectively. Unlike the developed canals at
Atlantic City, the average DO for the lightly developed canals at
Spooners Creek were in excess of 5.3 mg/1 with a minimum concentration
of 3.7 mg/1.
5. Sulfides
Sulfide concentrations at both Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key
stations were less than 1.0 mg/1 in November 1973. Dissolved oxygen
levels were sufficient to keep the sulfur in the oxidized sulfate
form. Odors were being produced at the decaying floating marine
grasses at Station G in Big Pine Key, but since the mat was at the
water column surface, no sulfides were found at the mid-depth sampling
location.
6. Metals
Metal analyses included total iron, lead, manganese, and zinc.
At both Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key, lead and manganese concentrations
were at or below detection limits of 80.0 ug/1 and 40 ug/1, respectively.
The zinc concentrations were also relatively low: 22 to 50 ug/1 and
20 to 60 ug/1 at Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key, respectively. Higher
concentrations of zinc in both of the sampling areas were found in the
developed canals.
Iron concentrations at Punta Gorda were in the range of 150 to 350
ug/1 in both the developed and undeveloped canals. Station A at Punta
Gorda had a concentration of 3,500 ug/1 which was indicative of a high
degree of runoff or intrusion of iron-laden ground water. In a report
entitled "Ecosystems Analysis of the Big Cypress Swamp and Estuaries"
by the EPA in the estuarine areas of Collier County, iron concentrations
were reported to be in the range of 100 to 600 ug/1. A peak concentra-
tion of 5,600 ug/1 was noted in an area where fertilizers and fungicides
were used. Ground water iron concentrations were on the order of
900 ug/1 in the area.
At Big Pine Key, the iron concentrations generally ranged from
<60 to 200 ug/1. Two developed areas (Station 14 and H) had concen-
trations above these values, 260 and 620 ug/1, respectively. These
higher concentrations can be attributed to runoff and leachates from
septic tank drain fields.

7. Bacteriological
Samples for total and fecal coliform determinations were collec-
ted at one foot below the surface in conjunction with the general
chemical sampling. Coliform results for the Punta Gorda, Big Pine
Key, Panama City, Atlantic Beach, Spooners Creek and Emerald Isles
stations are summarized in Table XXI. With the exception of the
Big Pine Key site, all of the canal study areas experienced coliform
densities in excess of those permitted by water quality standards.
Violations of these excessive coliform densities occurred at the
following sampling locations:

Atlantic Beach, NC Developed Canal - Dead-End

Coliform bacteria densities at Big Pine Key in November 1973
were low (<10-220/100 ml). The total coliform bacteria densities
in the developed canals (Station 12, 13 and 14) were higher than
those in the undeveloped canals (Stations 8, 9 and 10) and at the
background station (Station 11).
Salmonella swabs were placed at Stations 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6 and 7'
at Punta Gorda and at Stations 8, 10, 11, 12, 14 and G at Big Pine
Key. However, no Salmonella were isolated at any of the above
stations.
Table XXII describes the bacteriological contamination
attendant with canal development without adequate wastewater treat-
ment facilities. In all cases, densities were much higher at canal
stations than at background stations. In addition, canal age and
number of dwelling units (with septic tanks) correlate well with
coliform densities, as does location within the canal system. For
example, stations AB-1, AB-2 and AB-3 are at the end, middle,and
mouth of a reasonably high density canal development. Total coliform
densities were 3,400, 400 and 360/100 ml at these respective stations.
These densities exceed water quality criteria for both Class SA and
SB waters. This area is classified as Class SA waters (shellfish
harvesting).
In the case of finger-fill canals, the environment associated
with septic tank ieachate includes waterways open to public contact
swimming, Chesher (13). This report contends that swimming is
a direct benefit of finger-fill canals in the Florida Keys. In
place of disinfection, we must totally rely on natural attrition
of the enteric organisms as they pass from private septic tank and
through the sorptlon field and into the adjacent waterway. The bacteria
counts found in our studies should raise some serious questions as to
the effectiveness of such a system to protect public health.
Monitoring for the presence of enteroviruses was not conducted
during these investigations. However, the potential for enteric
virus contamination of waterways subject to septic tank Ieachate
contamination does make this an area of concern for future monitoring

efforts. We can ill afford to equate low bacterial indicator densities
with the absence of bacterial or viral pathogens.

C. MASS EXCHANGE STUDIES
A principle element of the water quality studies was to assess the
extent to which dead-end canals function as sinks or point sources for
nutrients and organic carbon. For these reasons, mass exchange studies
were conducted at the mouths of eight dead-end canal systems. To identify
a canal system as either a point source or sink is a task of determining
the imbalance between mass export or import over a complete tidal cycle.
To quantify export or import of nutrients and solids from dead-end
canals to adjoining receiving waters, automatic sequential samplers
were installed at the mouths of the primary study canals (Stations PG-03,
PG-07, BPK-10, BPK-14, SA-18, AB-03, AB-05, and AB-10, Figures 29-33).
The intake of each sampler was placed at mid-channel and mid-depth with
samples taken at half-hour intervals over a 25-hour period. Water samples
received appropriate preservatives in the field and were returned to
EPA's Athens laboratory for analytical processing for total organic carbon,
total nitrogen, and phosphorus content. Tidal stages in the study canals
were recorded during the full course of the 25-hour sampling period.
Table XXII represents the results of the exchange studies in terms
of average concentration for the combined tidal phases (ebb or flood)
of each 25-hour tidal cycle. Mass calculations were based on the
average concentration reported for the combined tidal phase and the
measured volume of the tidal prism exchanged for the combined phases.
Results of the tidal exchange studies are summarized in Table XXIII
in terms of mass (kg) of nutrients and organic carbon either imported
to or exported from each canal over a 25-hour tidal cycle. As shown
in the table, a minus sign (-) denotes import and a plus sign (+)
denotes export of material. To consider the canals as a point-source
system, the reader needs only to focus on those values with a plus sign.
At Punta Gorda, both the developed and undeveloped canals were
stratified (i.e., two-layer systems). Both canals characterized systems
importing organic carbon and exporting nitrogen and phosphorus. The
magnitude of these exports are judged as being significant based on the
following comparison. A typical activated sludge treatment plant yields
an effluent containing an average load of" 0.05 kg total nitrogen and
0.01 kg total phosphorus per 1,000 gallons of discharge (14 & 15).
Within this context, the undeveloped canal exported a total nitrogen and
phosphorus load (kg/day) equivalent to a 26,000 and 36,000-gallon-per-day
sewage treatment facility, respectively. The developed canal would
translate into the equivalent of a 30,000 and 23,000-gallon-per-day facility
respective to nitrogen and phosphorus. However, the tidal prism
volume (exchange flow) of the undeveloped canal exceeded that of the
developed canal by 25 percent.
-------
131
The potential for an Increase in the export load of the two canals
remains greater in view of the fact that nitrogen and phosphorus are
stored in the bottom strata of the canals during periods of stratifi-
cation. The physics of the stratification would tend to restrict
tidal volume exchange with the surface strata; thus, the export of
nutrients at the time of our study would constitute only a partial
relief of the total nutrient pool confined to the canal system. Ulti-
mately, the two canals would destratify with the coming of the dry
season; and much, if not all, of the nitrogen in solution (mainly
ammonia) will be exported from the system. The developed canal total
nitrogen pool was nearly 50 kilograms in excess of the undeveloped canal.
Without the benefit of mass exchange studies during the dry season,
we can only approximate the potential for nutrient export on the basis
of the November 1973, water quality sampling at slack low and high
tide. The principle assumption involved in this approximation is that
the slack low and high water concentration represented the average
concentration over the course of the ebbing and flooding tides,
respectively. In the case of the developed canal, the ebbing concen-
tration for total nitrogen in November remained the same as observed
in August. Thus, the developed canal was likely exporting nitrogen
loads of the approximate magnitude reported for August. However, the
undeveloped canal system was favoring an import of both nitrogen and
organic carbon in November. Obviously, the nutrients trapped in the
stratified layer are flushed from the canals in this relatively short
period (August-November).
Mass exchange studies at Big Pine Key show both the developed and
undeveloped canals exporting organic carbon and nitrogen (Table XXIII).
However, quantities of export were small. The export of organic
carbon could be coupled to the detrital yield of benthic attached plants.
The Sea Air Estate Canal at Marathon showed no measurable export
of either nutrients or organic carbon. This feature was not unexpected
on the basis of depth, size (volume) of the canal,and absence of
development. Attached vegetation (source of detritus) was limited to
the canal walls of some of the finger canals which radiated from a
large Central basin (Figure 31). Benthic attached plants were virtually
absent from the deep canals (to 25 feet).
At Atlantic Beach, the heavily developed canal featured no export
but instead imported organic carbon and nitrogen in lajfge
quantities (Table XXIII), which were being retained by the canal system.
The retention was probably related to the size of the canal system (as
was the case at Marathon, Florida, and the Sea Air Estate canal).
-------
132
However, retention of the organic carbon and nutrients was having a
serious impact on the canal's environmental conditions. The chemical
and biological assimilation of the organic carbon and nitrogen requires
an adequate dissolved oxygen resource—which obviously the system fails
to support, as evidenced in the DO studies (Figures 64 and 65).
The lightly developed canal at Atlantic Beach appeared to be less
of a carbon-nitrogen sink than the above-referred-to-systern. This
feature would be related to the comparative sizes of the two systems
(Figure 33) and the ratio of canal volume to tidal prism. Also, the
smaller canal maintained shoreline vegetation along the length of one
side of the waterway and undoubtedly added to the detrital resource
of the system.
The undeveloped canal was characterized as an exporting system of
organic carbon. The quantity of organic carbon leaving the canal was
approximately 22 kg; whereas, the nitrogen and phosphorus export was
0.3 and 0.5 kg, respectively. The outflow of organic carbon was probably
a reflection of the net productivity of the dense Spartina marsh which
flanked the entire length of the canal. In total, the marsh constituted
about 17.5 acres of vegetation. Detritus originating in the marsh was
tidally swept to the canal and integrated into its tidal flushing dynamics,
Not all of the detritus entrained into the canal was exported as
evidenced by the sediment features of the canal. Referring to Figure 83
of the sediment studies, the vertical profiles of the canal sediment in
terms of organic content are similar to the cores taken in the marsh.
Unlike either of the developed canals, the undeveloped system was able
to assimilate this massive infusion of organic matter without exceeding
the DO resources of the waterway.

D. Sediments
Estuarine sediments provide a focal point for considering a
variety of physical, chemical, and biological features of a canal
system. Sediments represent the past accumulation of mainly finely
divided particles of inorganic and organic character. In most cases,
sediments are hierarchically organized on the basis of particle size,
density of matter and prevailing hydraulic features of the overlying
water mass.
Keyed to this orginzational nature of sediments and their chemical
composition are the benthic communities of plants and animals. The
kinds, quantities, and activities of these communities provide a basis
from which the quality of the aquatic environment may be judged and
compared.
A microbial community serves the benthic system in two important
functions. First, bacteria serve as food for a variety of grazing
invertebrate animals. Second, and equally important, microbes reminera-
lize influxing organic detritus. Under aerobic conditions, decomposition
of organic material proceeds with the bacterial activity leading to
some conservation and accumulation of select nutrients in the sediments.
For example, the organic nitrogen portion of the substrate being decomposed
is temporarily retained in the sediments in the form of bacterial biomass,
while the ingested carbon is vented to the water column as CC^—a product
of respiration. As the supply of organic material in the substrate is
exhausted, reminerallzation lessens and the standing stock of microbes
is reduced; hence, the quantity of organic nitrogen in the sediments is
also reduced. Anaerobic remineralization is similar to aerobic reminera-
lization except at reduced rates and often at 'end points of partial
decomposition. In the absence of free dissolved oxygen, microbes are
dependent on sulfate and nitrites-nitrates as a supply of metabolic
oxygen for respiration. In marine environments, sulfate reduction leads
to production of hydrogen sulfide (HoS) gas which is toxic to many
animals. Nitrite-nitrate reduction leads to the production of ammonia
(NIT}) which can also be toxic. A relative measure of the state of organic
decomposition in sediments could be the ratio of organic carbon to
nitrogen (C:N) of the substrate. A lower ratio indicates a more advanced
state of decomposition while an increase in the ratio represents less
progress in remineralization. .
Essential to the establishment, growth, and maintenance of a benthic
community of invertebrate animals are the chemical and physical composi-
tion of sediments and water. Composition of sediments in terms of particle
size (texture) is of key importance to life styles of numerous animals.
For example, burrowing tube-dwelling forms of animals are often associated
with soft, finely divided sediments such as mud and silt. Free-living
types are found in association with coarse, possibly firmer, material
-------
136
like sand. Chemical conditions associated with sediments bear
heavily on the structure of the benthic animal community. Presence
of non-living organic matter in bottom deposits is a natural conse-
quence of detrital input into estuaries. Although this material is
vital to benthic animals, excessive accumulations of this matter can
pose a liability to the community. Remineralization of the material
places added demands on the DO budget. With insufficient resources
of free dissolved oxygen, the system becomes anaerobic and toxic gases
are generated. This toxicity leads to a reduction in the kinds and
number of organisms present in order of their tolerance to the toxic
agent.
General study areas and sampling locations are indicated in Figures
29,30, 31, 32, 33, and 34. Nearly all of the general water quality
stations were used in the sediment investigations. Vertical cores of
canal sediments were obtained with a clear plastic tube 5 cm in diameter
and 150 cm long. A transect perpendicular to shore was established at
each canal station. Cores were taken at mid-channel and at quarter
points to the left and right of center by a diver who, by hand, gradu-
ally forced the tube into the bottom until the point of refusal was
reached. The tube was then capped and extracted and returned to the
boat for processing. Each core was measured for length and percent
compaction:
length of core x ^00
length of tube penetration
This procedure was followed by visual inspection of the core to identify
and measure apparent zones of sediment stratification. Each zone was
extruded from the tube, a sub-sample was obtained, frozen and returned
to the laboratory for organic matter content, particle size composition,
and sulfide content analyses. The latter two analyses were performed
on only the top 10 cm increment of the core taken from mid-channel at
each station. In addition, grab samples of the sediment were obtained
and analyzed for the chemical parameters identified in Tables XXIV and
XXV. Ail p^alyses were performed with procedures recommended by
EPA (16 & 17).
1. Carbon and Nitrogen Ratios
At Punta Gorda, vertical and longitudinal distribution of organic
matter (volatile solids) in sediments of Canals I and II are reported
in Appendix D-l.l and illustrated in Figures 77 and 78. Organic material
tended to decrease In concentration with distance from the dead-end
area of both waterways. Although reported flushing rates for the two
canals were significantly different, longitudinal distribution of sedi-
ments appears to be more related to tidal velocities and size of particles.
-------
137
Common to any dead-end canal system is a regimentation of tidal
velocities that approach maximization at the seaward end of the system
during a tidal exchange. Coarser particles (those of greatest density)
would tend to accumulate to highest levels near the mouth of the system,
thus leaving finer matter to become concentrated near the
end of the canal. Fine sand was the dominant size class of sediment
particles in the two canals (Appendix D-2.1), and it obtained greatest
representation at the mouths of each canal (Stations 3 and 7); the
opposite trend was true for the finer particles (silt).
Canal I (undeveloped) exceeded Canal II (developed) in the accu-
mulation of sediments of richer organic content. Based on the carbon
to nitrogen (C:N) ratio of the sediments, there was a disparity between
the two canals in the relative state of organic decomposition of bottom
materials (Table XXVI). In Canal I, organic C:N ratios were generally
greater than ratios reported for Canal II, particularly at the dead-end
station of the former canal. Both canals were essentially the same
age and serve the same watershed. Apparent differences in the relative
state of decomposition lead to the following discussion which identifies
subtle contrasts in the character of the two canals.
Along the Gulf Coast, tidal streams function as natural systems
for collection and dispersion of detritus to main bodies of coastal
estuaries. Initially, detritus is derived as a by-product of plant
metabolism and is incorporated into a sestonic transport system. This
material usually consists of tiny bits of plant matter whose size
class ranges from the soluble state to less than 0.8 microns.
Sources of detritus common to both canals were mangrove swamps,
salt marshes, and upland vegetation with the latter inputs peaking
during periods of land runoff. The August mass exchange studies show
that both canal systems were importing detritus and suggested the same
held true for November. Canal I may have had some advantages in the
scheme of detrital recruitment because of its natural orientation to
Alligator Creek. Canal I was fashioned from a natural tidal creek
which may not have been excavated near its mouth (Figure 29); Canal II
was oriented for the convenience of development.
Auxiliary to the above sources of detritus was an unquantified
supply of organic matter input from septic tank drainage (see section E)
and street runoff. Qualitative differences (physically and chemically)
between organic matter derived from vegetation and domestic sewage
would be substantially different. Plant detritus would remineralize
more slowly, be void of animal protein except in bacteria, and be
rich in cellulose fiber. Septic tank leachates, however, represent
organic matter rich in soluble proteins and amino acids and convenient
for rapid microbial assimilation.
-------
138
To add some perspective to the sediment's level of organic
decomposition, the C:N ratios associated with the common coastal
marsh plant, Spartina, were considered. The living plant yields a C:N
ratio of 45:1; but with decomposition, the yield can be reduced to 11:1
(Odum, E. P. as cited in Russell Hunter, (18)). Assuming that other
marsh plants, including mangroves, yielded similar C:N ratios, reminer-
alization of bottom debris in Canal I was less complete based on an
average C:N ratio of 22:1 as compared to the more stabilized sediments
of Canal II with an average C:N ratio of 15:1. Apparently, any load-
ing of Canal II with organic matter from domestic waste sources has
had no detectable impact on the decomposition state of sediments.
However, this auxiliary source of organic enrichment poses potential
liabilities on the dissolved oxygen regimen. Solubilized matter
(amino acids, proteins) can be rapidly entrained into the microbial
processes of decomposition before entry into sediments. Remineraliza-
tion of this matter places added demands on the DO budget of the canal.
Referring to Figures 45 and 46, absolute values for DO concentrations
were consistently lower in Canal II than in Canal I. Other evidence
indicating progress of remineralization in the water column were
increased concentrations of inorganic nitrogen over those values
reported for Canal I (Table VII). Increased levels of ammonia, nitrites,
and nitrates in Canal II over those values reported for Canal I could
lead to other perturbations of the system by way of algal blooms.
At Big Pine Key, distribution of organic sediments in Canals III
and IV are reported in Appendix D-1.2 and illustrated in Figures 79 and
80. Canal IV contained a greater volume of sediments richer in organic
matter than did Canal III. This disparity could be related to several
factors—Canal IV was several years older than Canal III, was developed
with residential units, and was subject to poorer flushing.
In terms of C:N ratios of sediments, there appeared to be some
differences in the relative state of sediment decomposition. Canal III
contained sediments with an average C:N ratio of 10 versus a value of 13
for Canal IV. Sediments of the Big Fine Key canals appeared substantially
more stabilized in terms of decomposition than the study canals at Punta
Gorda. Obviously the Punta Gorda canals receive greater inputs of organic
carbon as indicated in the Water Quality Section (Tables VII, VIII, IX,
and X).
Canal orientation with respect to prevailing wind direction with-
out the benefit of protective barriers at their entrance are often
subject to the effects of windblown detritus as it accumulates in the
close-ended systems. This was the case for the two canals immediately
south of study Canal IV (Figure 12). At the time of our studies, Canal
IV and those canals north of it were not affected. Under conditions of
-------
139
a prevailing northwesterly wind, uprooted and floating fragments of
vegetation drifted directly into the canals and, in some cases, accumula-
ted into dense floating mats. Surprisingly, the situation had little
effect on the organic composition of sediments at the time of the
survey.
With adequate retention time, entrapped vegetation was relieved
of its buoyance through decomposition processes. As particulate matter,
detritus was available for transport to the bottom or other areas of
the system and for entrainment into aquatic food chains. This consi-
deration was tentatively verified. At Station G (Figure 30), floating
mats of sea grass choked the canal. Local residents confirmed that
this condition was common to the canal and prevailed until the wind
direction reversed. At this station, accumulative levels of organic
matter in sediments (Figure 80) and accompanying C:N ratios (Table XXXVI)
were comparable to values reported for the other stations in the system.
The respective parameters were quite similar. Apparently, the settling
rate of this material was sufficiently slow to provide a relatively
thorough decomposition of vegetation prior to any deposition on the
bottom. In support of this contention, dissolved oxygen variations in
the system were considered. At Station G, DO concentrations along the
vertical plane of the water column followed a "bell shape" distribution
(Table XVI). Maximum DO levels occurred at mid-depth, while minimum
concentrations developed near surface and bottom regions. Reduced DO
levels near the surface reflect respiration requirements of the decompo-
sition processes and lack of reaeration. Depressed DO levels at the
bottom indicate benthic oxygen demands which include respiration needs
of the benthic plants, as suggested by diel variations in the system
(Figures 50 and 51).
Apparently, at the time of these observations, the DO budget of
the system at Station G was sufficient to meet the metabolic needs of
plants and animals; this allowed decomposition of vegetation to proceed
to some stable end point and not degrade the sediments. In the absence
of an adequate DO budget, the system could become anaerobic; this would
lead to an accumulation of partially decomposed vegetation on the bottom
and create a benthic environment suitable for only the most pollution-
tolerant animals.
Coupled to the above reported inputs of detritus was the organic
matter supplied by the attached plant communities established within
the canal systems. In the case of Canal IV, possibly leachates of organic
matter from septic tanks could have added to the detrital pool for the sys-
tem of canals associated with the residentially developed area of Doctors
Arm subdivision. At the time of the survey, the combined supply of
organic matter to the Canals III and IV appeared to be in balance with
-------
140
the assimilative capacity of the two systems, thus avoiding any
serious degradation of the sediments.
Vertical and longitudinal distribution of organic matter in sedi-
ments of the Sea-Air Estate canal at Marathon, Florida, are reported
in Appendix D-1.4 and illustrated in Figure 81. Compared to Big Fine
Key canals, the sediments contained substantially less organic matter.
This probably reflects the absence of effects associated with residential
development and benthic macroalgae and seagrasses. Aside from differences
in the content of organic matter, sediments were very similar in terms
of particle size (mainly silt in both cases) and C:N ratios. Particle
size data is contained in Appendix D-2.2 and CsN ratios are shown in
Tables XXVI and XXVII.
For the Atlantic Beach canals, vertical and longitudinal distribu-
tion of organic matter content of the sediments are reported in Appendix
D-1.5 and illustrated in Figure 82. Three salient features are indicated
in Figure 82.
• The organic content of sediments is approximately 1,000 times
greater than heretofore reported for Florida canals.
• Within canals, organic content of sediments was maximized at
the dead-end locations.
• Marsh sediments were similar in organic content to sediments
of the undeveloped canal and associated approach cannel.
Organic richness of canal sediments in our opinion reflects the organic
production of lush Spartina marshes of the coastal region. These marshes
constitute the bases of a detrital economy essential to development and
maintenance of a vast resource of aquatic life. For discussion purposes,
detritus is referred to as small fragments of dead plant material that
are tidal flushed from the marsh as particulate matter. Dimensions of
these particles are size categorized as extra coarse, fine, and Nanno
fractions (2 , 4 ). Hanno particles being smallest (less than 64 microns)
would, of course, be most amenable to prolonged suspension. These
authors also provided information regarding the carbon-nitrogen character
and oxygen uptake rates of this material. The protein content of Spartina
detritus increased with decreasing particle size; organic carbon content
(carbohydrates) decreased with decreasing particle size; and oxygen uptake
increased with decreasing particle size.
Detritus originating from a 17.5-acre Spartina marsh was tidally
flushed to the undeveloped canal where some of the material was undoubtedly
distributed to sediments and the remaining suspended detritus exported
from the system. Sediment profiles of the canal were fairly similar to
the organic profile reported for the marsh (Figure 83 , Station 9A).
-------
141
The entire detrital load placed on the canal apparently imposed little
demand on the oxygen resources of the canal system (see DO profile for
Stations 9 and 10, Figure 68). Quite likely, organic matter settling
to the bottom represents the coarser, more dense detritus which would
tend to be fairly well stabilized in terms of decomposition and effects
on oxygen demand too low to be detected by our DO measurements. The
reader will note that the C:N ratios of the sediments for any canal
and non-canal stations appeared to be relatively small with respect
to ratios indicated for the Florida canals (Tables XXVI thru XXVII).
As discussed earlier, a C:N ratio approaching 11:1 was presumed indica-
tive of fairly well stabilized sediment in terms of microbial decomposi-
tion.
Detritus held in suspension (predominantly the Nanno fraction), but
ultimately exported from the system, would represent the maximum potential
for demands on dissolved oxygen resources of the canal system. Based on
DO profiles for the undeveloped canal, these demands were either easily
met or the detritus was exported from the system before the demands
could be reflected in the measured DO levels.
Sediment of the developed canals also reflect an organic richness
(Figure 82). Vertical distribution of the organic matter, however,
was fairly different from that reported for the marsh and undeveloped
waterway, particularly in the case of Station 1. Cores from the dead-
end location show an overall organic enrichment unequaled in magnitude
by any other location samples.
Sources of carbon to developed canal systems have been identified
in the septic tank leachate and mass exchange studies. With respect to
the latter study, the heavily developed canal was importing tremendous
quantities of organic carbon and nitrogen from areas outside of the
canal system. Marsh detritus was undoubtedly a principal source of this
import. As mentioned previously, detritus is divided into three size
classes, with finer particles being more convenient to a prolonged
suspension. As suspended particles travel the length of the canal,
coarser, more dense material would be the first to settle to the bottom
as Indicated in the results of the sediment-particle size analyses
(Appendix D-2.3). Thus, the canal constituted a trap for finely divided
particles, and the organic richness of its sediments at the dead end
locations would be expected. Settling rates of finely divided organic
matter (Nano detritus) would be timely and a direct function of poor
vertical mixing. The heavily developed canal, in the dead-end vicinity
would afford a convenient area for settling of particulate matter.
Settling of finely divided organic material would not proceed with-
out taking its toll on the canal's dissolved oxygen resource based on
the work of Odum and de la Cruz (2). Figures.64 to 68 show a steady
decrease in DO with depth. If sediments were the principal DO demanding
-------
142
agent, a different configuration for the indicated DO profile might
be expected. The near linear configuration of the profiles shown
would be replaced by profiles with a break in discontinuity such as is
illustrated in Figure 84.
2. Metals
Metal concentrations in the sediments at Punta Gorda reveal major
differences between the undeveloped and the developed canal (Figure 85).
Metal concentrations (lead, manganese, zinc, and iron) in the developed
canal increased from the mouth to the dead end while in the undeveloped
canal, the reverse was true. This disparity leads to the suspicion that
the undeveloped canal is receiving metals from the access waterway near
its mouth and that the developed canal is accumulating intrinsic metals.
3. Pesticides
No significant pesticides accumulations occurred in the sediments
at any of the sampling stations (Tables XXIV & XXV). A list of the complete
pesticide scan and their detection are presented in Appendix D-3. Pesti-
cide accumulation at Punta Gorda followed trends similar to those described
for sediment metals. In the developed canal, accumulations increased
from the mouth to the dead end; while in the undeveloped canal, the
process reversed itself.
Likewise, at Panama City, sediment samples taken for pesticide
analysis revealed low levels of pesticide contamination. In general,
concentrations increased from the canal mouths to their dead ends.
4. Development Densities Versus Sediment Composition
Relative stages of development (dwelling unit density) along canal
banks are positively correlated to sediment composition (Table XXIX).
Four types of comparisons made were:
Case
A Canals with development versus background
B Canals with development versus canals without development
C Canals with development versus canals with light
development
D Canals without development versus background
A case-by-case comparison from this table qualifies the differences
in sediment composition relative to stage of development. In Case A, 78
percent of the comparisons revealed higher concentrations in the developed
canal than in background stations. In Case B, 83 percent of the compari-
sons showed higher concentrations in the developed canal than in canals
-------
143
with no development. In Case C, 100 percent of the comparisons revealed
higher concentration in the developed canals than those which had only
light development. In Case D, 59 percent of the comparisons showed that
undeveloped canals had higher concentrations than background stations.
The above evidence of accumulation of chemical parameters in the
benthic deposits in canal systems is replete. Not only do developed
canals accumulate chemicals in the sediments, but also to a lesser extent,
undeveloped canals trap chemicals from allochthonous sources into their
sediments.

E. SEPTIC TANK LEACHATE TRACING STUDIES
Septic tank systems potentially serve as a source of bacterial,
viral, and chemical contamination to surface and subsurface waters. The
same concerns can also be extended to central sewage treatment systems
should they be inadequately designed, maintained, or operated. If the
groundwater in the vicinity of septic tank systems serves as water supply,
public health problems of paramount proportion could exist. In the case
of tidal canals, the public health issue remains germane in view of the
potential transfer of the septic tank effluent to the waterway. A secon-
dary concern focuses on the nutrient enrichment aspects by the leachates
and the potential for creating a biotic imbalance in the waterway and
adjoining estuarine waters. A cursory review of literature relating
to the influence of septic tank leachates on public health and environ-
mental quality is presented in Section~F of this report.
Septic tank leachate tracing studies were initiated at Funta Gorda
and Big Pine Key, Florida, and at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, to
document movement of septic tank leachates into canal waters.
A conservative dye (Rhodamine WT) was introduced into selected
septic tank systems at the Florida and North Carolina locations
(Figures 86, 87 and 88). In each case, four liters of 20% Rhodamine
WT dye were introduced through a house drain into the septic tank system.
An automatic sampler was placed at the edge of the canal and programmed
to sample at hourly intervals. The intake of the sampler was placed
approximately one foot from the bottom of the canal and at a point
immediately down gradient from the septic tank/drainfield system.
Samples were analyzed for the presence of dye with a microflourometer.
At Funta Gorda, the presence of dye in the canal system was
clearly confirmed after 25 hours (Figure 89 ). In the Atlantic Beach
study, confirmation came after an elasped time of 60 hours in one test
and only 4 hours in a second experiment (Figures 90 and 91, respectively)
Although the two study areas were geographically remote to one
another, the septic tank and drainfields shared some common features.
In both cases the tanks were approximately 50 feet from the canal. The
drainfield tiles were parallel to the canal which was partially bulk-
headed. The land elevation was approximately five feet above mean high
water, and the building sites were created from fill material derived
from the excavation of the canals. The seepage fields are composed
primarily of sand, silt, and shell. The tidal dynamics of the two
regions were fairly similar. Two to three foot tidal ranges are
common at both locations.
-------
160
The hydraulic head between the canal water surface and the invert
elevation of the draintile provided the necessary gradient for the
transfer of the septic tank effluent to the canal system and the
effluent appeared to follow a noninterrupted course to the waterway.
Factors affecting the disposition of the effluent were undoubtedly
the drainfield construction and the water-use pattern of the occupants.
These aspects are partly evident in the tracing experiment at Site B
in Atlantic Beach. Reviewing Figure 91 , the first dye injection was
made at approximately 1400 hours and a response in the canal recorded
4 hours following. Also, in Figures 89 and .90 of tracing at Punta
Gorda and Atlantic Beach, respectively, the peaks follow patterns
indicative of wastewater discharge flow fluctuations.
In the Big Pine Key study, dye was introduced into two septic
tank systems located on two different canals. No evidence of dye was
detected in either waterway over a period of 110 to 150 hours of
sampling.
Three factors could have been responsible for the absence of dye
at the point of our sampling:
o Sorption of dye with the drainfield substrate.
o Lack of sufficient hydraulic gradient between the
draintile invert and the canal waters.
o Direction of travel different from point of sampling.
The principle soil substrate of the Big Pine Key area is Oolite,
a carbonate of lime. The material is extremely porous and has a strong
tendency to chemically bind with other compounds. To determine the
scavenging effect of the Oolite on the dye, sorption experiments were
conducted in the laboratory with the two materials. Various concentra-
tions of dye were simply exposed to Oolite packed in plastic columns and
the residue of dye remaining in solution was measured over increasing
time intervals (in excess of five days). The dye showed no measurable
affinity for the carbonate material.
At Doctors Arm Subdivision, building sites were created from fill
material obtained in the excavation of the canals. The fill was mainly
fractured Oolite. The unconsolidated aggregate remained extremely
porous when compacted as indicated by percolation test data (two minutes
per inch).
During the time of the dye tracing studies, the recorded mean
tidal elevation of the canal water was approximately 2 feet below the
surface of the building sites. This feature considered in the context
of the percolation data would indicate that groundwater was undoubtedly
continuous with the canal. Thus, the positioning of the draintile at a
-------
161
soil depth of about 2 feet would place the system in direct contact
with the groundwater (local residents confirmed that draintiles are
often laid in water-saturated substrate). This aspect alone constitutes
a direct and major contradiction to standard engineering practices relative
to septic tanks. Secondly, the system periodically hydraulically fails
because of the absence of gradient. In addition, chemical, bacterial and
viral contaminants can move directly into the surrounding groundwater.
In effect, the septic tank effluent pools in the vicinity of the drain-
field and remains so until an adequate hydraulic head is established.
As already indicated, the hydraulic gradient is mainly controlled
by surface water elevation in the canals. This elevation, in turn, is
a product of natural tidal amplitude and wind-driven effects. At the
time of these studies, tidal ranges were about one foot in elevation
which is normal for this season. Apparently in the time frame of the
study, the observed tidal variations were insufficient to effect a
hydraulic gradient that would flush the dye from the seepage field and
laterally disperse it to the canal where samplers were located. This
does not exclude the possibility that the dye emerged at some other
point in the canal system, a viable alternative in view of the
gemorphic nature of the substrate. Under either consideration, the
septic tank effluent must ultimately disperse to the open waters of
the canal.
The Environmental Protection Agency in conjunction with the North
Carolina Department of Natural and Economic Resources and Human Resources
has begun a study of septic tank systems and associated groundwater and
surface water quality at Surf City, North Carolina.. To date, only a
minimum quantity of data has been analyzed; however, the preliminary
data are useful to this current report as pollutional trends are evident.
Four groundwater well-point systems (A thru D) were installed in
this area (Figures 92 and 93). Data collected at these wells in
February 1975 (Table XXJO indicate that groundwater concentrations of
total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) are very responsive to proximity of septic
tank systems. Well-point systems A and B both reveal considerable
differences in TKN values between well samples upgradient and down-
gradient from septic tank systems, i.e., a 4.6 fold increase at Site B.
Likewise, samples taken from single well-points located downgradient
from septic tank systems at well sites C and D had TKN concentrations
of 58.0 and 25.0 mg/1, respectively. These two wells (12 and 13) are
located only 30 feet from the canal waters.
Leachate tracing studies (July 1975) at these Surf City, NC sites
have conclusively proven that fecal colifonn bacteria from septic tank
systems were transmitted to canal waters. Leachates entering the canal
-------
162
systems as traced with dye were found to have fecal coliform densities
in excess of 2,400,000 colonies per 100 milliliter.

F. SYNOPTIC REVIEW OF THE ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF SEPTIC TANKS
Treatment and disposal of domestic wastes associated with coastal
residential development is a. problem of increasing magnitude. Much
coastal development occurs in suburban localities, not served by munici-
pal waste collection and treatment facilities and do not lend themselves
to future service by such systems. As a result, rather than construct
a costly permanent waste treatment plant or utilize package treatment
facilities, septic tank disposal systems are the predominant type of
waste treatment advocated by developers.
The magnitude of water quality problems attendant with coastal
high density development is increasing at a rapid rate. Evidences
6f such water quality degradation are: the occurrence of nuisance aquatic
plant growth, algal blooms, creation of anoxic zones in canal waters,
the presence of offensive odors resulting from organic decomposition,
and the loss of valuable shellfish harvesting areas closed because of
excessive bacterial contamination.
Septic tank disposal systems are not the sole agent responsible
for noted evidences of water quality degradation; however, their
impact on the environment cannot be dismissed. Numerous factors, other
than waste disposal, play a significant role in the adverse aspect
of coastal development. The creation of complex canal systems with
poor hydraulic flushing characteristics, excessive population density
patterns, and surface runoff also contribute to water quality degrada-
tion in these developments. In essence, the very existence of develop-
ment in any form impacts the natural environs.
Septic tank disposal systems have widespread application in many
suburban locales and are popular means of household waste disposal.
Estimates made by the U. S. Public Health Service and the Federal
Housing Administration indicate that some 32 million people were
served by septic tank systems in 1970 (19). Many of those served by
septic tank systems reside in coastal developments. It is estimated
that more than 50 percent of Florida's canal-type developments utilize
septic tanks (20), and approximately 90 percent of the Florida Keys
utilize septic tanks even though the soil in that area is considered
unsuitable for satisfactory operation (21). In 1970, a Federal Water
Quality Administration report disclosed that approximately 50 percent
of Broward and Dade Counties, Florida remain on septic'tank disposal
systems (22).
-------
173
The relative percent of newly constructed dwellings with septic
tanks is decreasing; however, the number of new homes served by
septic tank systems is increasing (23). Pollution control agencies,
at both the State and Federal level, continue to review and, unfortunately,
approve septic tank disposal systems in coastal zones where soil and
groundwater conditions are unsuitable for satisfactory performance.
A septic tank disposal system consists of a septic tank and a
subsurface percolation system. A septic tank is a water-tight container
designed to separate floatable and settleable solids from the liquid
portion of wastes. The liquid portion of wastes is then discharged to
the soil through a drainfield percolation system. Basically, the septic
tank has three functions: removal of solids, biological treatment
(anaerobic), and sludge and scum storage (24).
The effectiveness of waste treatment by septic tank disposal sys-
tems is not necessarily governed by the operation of the septic tank,
but rather by the soil sorption system (25, 2.6, 27). Treatment provided
by the septic tank is minimal when compared to other forms of domestic
waste treatment (Table XXXI). Treatment effectiveness and performance
of the sorption field is largely dependent on geographical character-
istics of the area where the system is located. Factors such as soil.
permeability, soil depth, groundwater level, slope of the ground
surface, proximity to surface waters, and fractured or cavernous
geologic strata must be the determinants used for locating satisfactory
sites for septic tank systems (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29). Failure
to adequately evaluate a septic tank site in the context of the above
factors, may result in the creation of a sanitary nuisance, a health
hazard, and a source of surface and groundwater pollution.
According to Patterson et al. (26), "Failures of septic tank
systems have been caused most frequently by one or more of the follow-
ing conditions:
1. Lot size too small to provide adequate absorption field.
2. Soil not suitable for septic tank drainage.
3. Groundwater level too high.
4. Excessive numbers of septic systems in an area.
5. Inadequately sized septic systems.
-------
174
The literature is replete with references of the widespread
failure and malfunction of septic tank disposal systems. Failure
of a septic tank system is characterized not only by the malfunction
of the system, e.g., clogging, but includes wastes reaching the
ground surface and the underground movement of wastes resulting
in the contamination of groundwater, wells, and surface waters. Fail-
ure of septic tank systems because of poor soil conditions, either
due to the impervious nature of the soil or to an overly pervious
substrate, are numerous (20, 26, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34). Similarly,
high percent failure rates have been noted where a high groundwater
level prevented proper system operation (20, 21, 26, 32, 35, 36).
"The total evidence available, circumstantial and otherwise,
indicates that septic systems today exert a significant detrimen-
tal effect upon environmental quality" (26). These detrimental
effects are both common and costly evidences throughout the South-
eastern coastline (20, 37, 38, 39). The full impact that septic
tank leachates have on coastal environments may never be completely
recognized because of the subtlety with which they enter the affected
waters.
Regulations governing septic tank installation and design
criteria are promulgated and imposed by state and local environmental
or health agencies. Jurisdictional lines for system approval within
the state and local agencies are oftentimes determined by the size
of the installation. As one might expect, regulations imposed on.
septic tank usage varies from state to state with the southeastern
states being no exception.
All southeastern states have specific requirements regulating
septic tank systems. Some of these requirements are summarized in
Table XXXII for the six coastal southeastern states. Also included
in the table are recommendations from the Manual of Septic Tank
Practice. USPHS (24).
A review of state regulations controlling septic tank usage
reveals a spectrum of specific requirements. The detailed regula-
tions range from very vague and cursory to very thorough and compre-
hensive documents (40-45). More uniformity in regulations is
needed, particularly as they apply to coastal zones.
Any regulation on septic tank installation practices should
be based upon three parameters: (1) soil type, (2) horizontal dis-
tance from adjacent water bodies (3) vertical distance from groundwater
surface. While the first parameter is equally important, the later two
are much more enforceable and are of greater concern in coastal areas
since soils in the coastal fringes are predominately sand. Based upon
evidence to date, it seems prudent that septic tank/sorption fields be
no closer than 100 feet from a surface water body and that these
-------
175
fields be 3 to 4 feet above the saturated soil zone at the wettest
period of the year. However, even these minimum requirements may be
inadequate; therefore, each proposed development should be examined
in light of its environmental setting (i.e., water supplies, magnitude
of development, density, hydrologic factors, water classification,
pollution potential, etc.).
The role that septic tank disposal systems play in the spread
of disease is impossible to accurately quantitate and, many times,
difficult to identify or confirm. Their potential for creating health
hazards has been recognized for years and is of continuing concern to
public health authorities. The obvious area where public health effects
may be demonstrated is in the contamination of groundwater used as public
or private water supplies. Once a pollutant reaches the groundwater, it
becomes responsive to the local pattern of groundwater movement (31).
Table XXXIII shows the incidence of known waterborne disease result-
ing from the consumption of untreated groundwater for the period 1946 -
1970 (46). For this 25-year period, there were some 72,358 cases of
waterborne disease from all types of water systems (46). The fact that
30,594 cases of disease, or 42.3 percent, were transmitted by untreated
groundwater, points out the significance of groundwater contamination
in the spread of disease. This is further emphasized by estimates that
only about 57 percent of the disease outbreaks in public water supply
systems, and 33 percent of the outbreaks in private water supplies,
are reported (46). Numerous waterborne illnesses go unreported because
of either the mildness of the illness, the illness being mistaken as
resulting from another source, or simply being treated at home without
the involvement of a physician.
The extent to which septic tank disposal systems contribute to the
number of waterborne disease outbreaks is unknown. The manner in which
the waste may travel in the groundwater, together with the insidious
nature of many waterborne disease outbreaks, complicates attempts to
correlate disease outbreaks with septic tank disposal. Unlike surface
water contamination,.ground water contamination may be confined to a
very limited area, resulting in localized disease manifestations.
Septic tank disposal systems have been suggested as the source
of numerous waterborne disease outbreaks; however, many of these are
never confirmed by complete field, laboratory, and epidemiological
investigations (26, 30, 34, 46, 47).
-------
176
However, there are numerous studies reported in the literature
that do confirm the spread of waterborne disease by groundwater contami-
nated by septic tank discharges. A recent outbreak of gastroenteritis
in Florida involving some 1,200 cases, resulted from the contamination
of a public well located 150 feet from a septic tank. Dye studies con-
firmed that wastes travel from the septic tank to the well occurred in
nine hours (48). Four cases of typhoid fever in 1972 were the result
of a private well being contaminated by a septic tank located 200 feet
away. Again, dye studies indicated movement of the waste from the
septic tank to the well in 36 hours (49).
Movement of septic tank leachates through limestone formations,
with subsequent contamination of private wells, has been documented.
Dye from septic tanks was observed in a well 110 feet from the point
of discharge in a 14-hour period. Several persons using this well
developed gastroenteritis (28).
Several hundred cases of "sewage poisoning" have been documented
as a result of consumption of groundwater contaminated by septic tank
leachate. These cases are characterized by an inability to identify
a specific etiologic agent responsible for the outbreak; thus the
description, "sewage poisoning" (50, 51).
Several hundred cases of infectious hepatitis have been confirmed
as being caused by consumption of groundwater contaminated by septic
tank leachate (52, 53, 54, 55).
These confirmed illnesses resulting from the consumption of ground-
water contaminated by septic tank leachates not only establish, but
emphasize, the potential for such outbreaks where lateral movement of
contaminated groundwater occurs. Available information gives further
credence to the statement that "At best, septic tanks . . . are poor
substitutes for central (sewage) collection and treatment systems and
should be avoided whenever possible" (56).
The public health implications of septic tank discharges extend
beyond the area of human consumption of polluted groundwaters. An area
more difficult to assess is the impact that contaminated groundwaters
have on surface water quality degradation. Although difficult to
assess, it is nonetheless an area of extreme importance in delicate
estuarine ecosystems. When contaminated groundwater is allowed to
exchange with estuarine waters, a potential risk of disease transmission
must be recognized by those using these surface waters for water contact
recreation. Although bacterial and viral levels reaching surface waters
via this route may be low, they do represent a potential source of disease
transmission. Estimates indicate the virus content of polluted surface
water to be on the order of 0.15 and 1.5 virus units per 100 ml of water
(57). However, even these low densities may be of significance in view
of reports in the literature that as few as one infective tissue dose is
sufficient to induce infection (58).
-------
177
The fact that enteric bacteria and members of the enteric virus
family survive for significant periods of time in water affirms the
potential for contaminated surface water as a route of disease trans-
mission. As much as 100 days might be required for inactivation of
99.9 percent of the viral infectivity of some enteric viruses in surface
waters (59).
Another area of concern, but not well understood, is that of the
fate of viruses once they are adsorbed to particulates and become incor-
porated in the sediments of coastal zones. Gerber and Schaiberger (60)
stated; "It now seems reasonable to hypothesize that viruses entering
coastal waters readily adsorb to particulate matter that prolongs their
survival. Settling of this material, aided by the electrolytic effect
of seawater, could result in viral accumulation in sediments. Here,
viruses would remain undetectable in the overlying water to be later
resuspended by wave action, dredging, increases in the amount of organic
matter, or possibly changes in salinity." The possibility that such a
sequence of events could occur in coastal zones as a result of septic
tank leachates definitely merits concern and research because of its
public health implications.
Aside from the risk associated with water contact recreation in
estuarine waters contaminated by septic tank leachates, the contamination
of shellfish inhabiting these waters poses an additional consequence
when consumed. Shellfish, e.g., oysters, have been shown to effectively
concentrate bacteria and viruses; thus, when consumed, either raw or
partially cooked, they may serve as vehicles for pathogen transmission (61,
62, 63). The occurrence of bacterial and viral disease outbreaks from
consumption of shellfish contaminated by sewage pollution has been
demonstrated many times and has resulted in the regulation of shellfish-
growing water quality (64).
It is generally accepted, and well documented, that under ideal
soil and hydrological conditions, the percolation of treated sewage
through several feet of fine unsaturated soil will effectively remove
bacteria and viruses (65, 66). However, the character of the soil, the
hydrology of the area, and the rate of application all play an important
role in the filtering capacity of the soil. Effective removal of
bacterial and viral contaminants has been reported by percolation through
soil for depths of a few inches (65, 66, 67).
The character of the soil not only affects the rate of travel but
also the degree of reduction of bacterial contamination with distance.
Travel distances of biological contaminants in groundwater have been
reported to range from a few feet to several hundred feet. Reports of
distances traveled by coliform bacteria range from 10 to 2,000 feet,
with the majority of distances ranging from 10-400 feet, (25, 65, 68, 69),
Tables JXXXIV and XXXV. The rate of travel of bacteria is less than that
of dissolved chemical pollutants. Varying rates of travel are cited in
-------
178
the literature (26, 65, 68, 69, 70). The rate of chemical travel in
groundwater varies with soil conditions but is documented as being much
faster than the rate of transport of biological contaminants (65, 69).
The survival times of enteric bacteria in water and soil have been
reported to be from several days to years (Table XXXVI). Even though
inconsistencies in survival times are reported in the literature, sur-
vival is of sufficient times for bacterial contaminants to be transported
over relatively long distances (26, 63, 68). The significant distances
that biological and chemical pollutants travel in groundwater, and the
exchange between groundwater and surface water, emphasize the potential
that polluted groundwater has for contaminating surface water.
The pollution of coastal canals with groundwater contaminated by
septic tank leachates has been documented with dye tracer studies con-
ducted by EPA in Florida and North Carolina. Tracer dyes introduced into
septic tank systems located approximately 50 feet from finger-fill canals
were rapidly transmitted to the adjacent canal waters. In southwestern
Florida, the leachates reached the canal in 25 hours while at two separate
North Carolina sites, travel times of 4 and 60 hours, respectively, were
recorded. Violations of applicable coliform standards were recorded in
canal developments utilizing septic tank disposal systems in both
Florida and North Carolina study sites.
Additional studies are presently underway at a finger-fill canal
development in North Carolina designed to determine the impact of
septic tank leachates on adjacent canal waters. No dye tracer studies
have been conducted to date; however, examination of preliminary ground-
water data indicates considerable nutrient enrichment in the vicinity
of the septic tanks and wells.
The high groundwater level and porous soil conditions in some of
the coastal areas allow for a free exchange of contaminated groundwater
and receiving estuarine waters. Consensus of those experts contribut-
ing to a report on the environmental effects of waterfront canals was
that a substantial proportion of the pollution reaching canal waters
can be attributed to septic tank installation (20).
Recognizing the potential for surface water contamination by septic
tank leachates, most states have regulations requiring a minimum setback
distance from surface waters of 50 feet. The state of North Carolina
has proposed a minimum setback distance (nitrification field) of 100
feet from coastal waters classified for shellfish harvesting (44).
It has been indicated that the movement of contaminants through at
least 100 feet of unsaturated soil is necessary for effective cleansing
in those areas where the groundwater is subject to exchange with surface
waters (29), and that in general, no seepage field be located closer than
300 feet to a channel or water course (29). Even with such a minimum
-------
179
setback requirement, dissolved nutrients may still reach waterways and
constitute the potential for creating a biotic imbalance.
Although data delineating the exact relationship between high density
septic tank usage and environmental problems in coastal developments are
not extensive, water quality degradation in many of these developments
is extensive. The bulk of evidence suggests that varying degrees of
water quality degradation occurs in the majority of intermediate to
high density coastal developments utilizing septic tank disposal systems.
Application of septic disposal systems where high groundwater levels
prevent effective operation and groundwater gradients are such that
adjacent waterways become the repository of a portion of these biological
and chemical wastes must be viewed as being partially responsible for
observed ecological imbalances.
Presently, the unlimited utilization of septic disposal systems
in coastal developments where operational efficiencies are suspect
certainly is inconsistent with the application of best applicable waste
treatment technology and should be minimized or abandoned.
The ultimate goal in the development of waterfront properties must
be to provide homesites at the lowest present and future environmental
cost. Thus, the objective of the regulatory agencies, developers and
the public must be to demand the application of best applicable waste
treatment technologies and techniques in the creation of waterfront
properties.

G - BIOLOGY
1. Benthic Macroinvertebrates
Depending on firmness of the substrate, a Petersen or Ekman grab
device was used to obtain at least four replicate samples of the benthic
community. This type of sampling was limited to the central portion at
each canal station. Macroinvertebrates were separated from the sediments
by sieving through a U. S. Standard No. 30 screen sieve. Organisms
were preserved in alcohol and returned in tagged sample bottles to the
Athens laboratory, where they were identified, counted, and reported as
number of animals per square meter. Sampling sites coincided with water
quality and sediment sampling stations.
Sampling of the near-shore areas of the canals was by qualitative
means. Numerous samples of debris, vegetation, and rocky substrate were
obtained with a variety of implements including dip nets, screens, and
grab devices. Samples were preserved and returned to the laboratory for
processing.
Essential to the establishment, growth, and maintenance of a benthic
community of diverse animals is the chemical and physical climate of the
sediments and water. Composition of sediments in terms of particle size
(texture) is of importance to life styles of numerous animals. Burrowing,
tube^-dwelling forms of animals are often associated with soft, finely
divided sediments such as mud and silt; whereas, free-living types are found
in association with coarse, possibly firmer material, like sand. Chemical
conditions associated with sediments bear heavily on structure of the
benthic animal community. Presence of non-living organic matter in
bottom deposits is a natural consequence of detrital input into Gulf-coast
estuaries. Although this material can be vital to benthic animals, exces-
sive accumulations of this matter can constitute a liability to the community.
Remineralization of the material places added demands on the DO budget.
With insufficient resources of free oxygen, the system becomes anaerobic
and the generation of toxic gases begins. Toxic gases coupled with a lack
of dissolved oxygen forces a reduction in animal density in the benthic
community. Various kinds of organisms are eliminated from the benthic
community in the order of their order of tolerance to the anaerobic effects.
At the Punta Gorda location, sampling for benthic macroinvertebrates
was restricted to the November 1973 survey. The numbers and kinds of
benthic macroinvertebrates found in November followed a similar pattern of
longitudinal distribution in both canals (Appendix E-l.l and E-1.2).
Maximum numbers of animals and diversity of taxa occurred at the mouth of
the canals (Stations 3 and 7) and at the background site (Station 4).
The dead-end regions of the canals (Stations 1 and 5) supported the fewest
number of organisms and was represented by the least number of taxa.
Polychaete worms, small mussels and clams, and amphipods were numeri-
cally dominant in the benthic community. Polychaetes were common to all
stations in Canal II but only present at Station 3 in Canal I. With the
exception of the background site (Station 4), the type of annelid worm
found inhabiting the canals was a member of the subclass Errantia~a
-------
188
classification of individuals that is basically carnivorous in feeding
habits, free-living, and associated with a mud-sand substrate. Opposing
this group of annelids is the subclass Sedentaria which is characterized
by individuals that are filter-feeders, restricted to permanent burrows,
and usually associated with substrates of mud and silt. The absence of
members of the Sedentaria classification appeared related to the dominant
particle size of the sediment of Canals I and II. Both canals featured
sediment particles of the medium-fine sand category which is apparently
better suited for the life style of polychaetes belonging to the free*
living forms of the subclass Errantia.
Considering, in general, the feeding habits of amphipods, the appar-
ent distribution of these organisms may be keyed to the relative state of
organic decomposition of the sediments. Amphipods, in general, exist as
grazing organisms feeding on living components of the periphytic community
and detritus. The community of bacteria colonizing the detrital particles
constitutes a rich source of proteins. This source of protein in terms of
yield would tend to be maximized in sediments supporting active organic
decomposition. A majority of amphipods were found at Stations 3 and 4—
stations supporting C:N ratios of 20:1 and 40:1 respectively (Table XXVI).
Also, Station 3 was the only canal site supporting some benthic vascular
plants. Plants provided substrate for the development of a periphytic
community and served as a mechanism for trapping and retaining detrital
particles.
Station 1 posed a contradiction to the above regarding amphipod
abundance being related to the relative state of sediment decomposition.
This station was represented by sediments that indicated an area of active
decomposition (C:N of 30:1). However, amphipods, as well as nearly all
other forms of macroinvertebrates, were absent from the benthic community.
Absence of benthic life was most likely related to the toxic effect of
an extensive buildup of sediment sulfide concentrations that were 2 to 10
times greater than at any other stations sampled (Table XXIV).
Results of sampling at Big Pine Key for the November 1973 and August
1974 surveys are reported in Appendices E-l.l, E-1.3, and E-1.4. Numerically,
the distribution of organisms was related to longitudinal position in the
canals. The number of animals per square meter of substrate increased
with distance from the dead-end reaches of each waterway. This feature
persisted during both surveys. At the time of the November survey, orga-
nism diversity remained fairly uniform with respect to longitudinal position.
This trend was modified in August when diversity was minimized at the dead-
end stations.
Annelid worms and crustaceans were the most abundant members of the
benthic macroinvertebrate community. The numbers of polychaete worms were
well-divided between the free-living and sedimentary forms. Referral to
Appendix D-2.1 will indicate that, unlike Punta Gorda, hydraulics in the Big
Pine Key canals favored the accumulation of silt and clay particles in the
sediments, but with mixtures of fine to coarse sand—a combination suited for
both forms of polychaetes. In August, a new member of the annelids was re-
ported for the benthic community. Tubificid worms were found in nearly all of
the samples taken from the developed canal (IV). Marine oligochaetes can play
an important role in polluted environments where the benthic habitat is
-------
189
excessively enriched with organic matter and oxygen can become depleted
(71, 72).
Crustaceans were best represented by amphipods. In November, at least
10 families were found inhabiting the canal systems. As indicated pre-
viously, these animals are grazers of living and dead plant material; hence,
amphipods would tend to maximize their numbers in canal regions supporting
benthic flora, providing ample DO is available and the benthic environment
is free of toxic sulfides. This was the case with Canals III and IV in
November. The organisms attained their greatest numbers in bottom regions
of maximum abundance of benthic macrophytes.
In August, the kinds of organisms representing the crustaceans were
markedly reduced. For example, only five families of amphipods could be
identified, with nearly all of the individuals being associated with the
undeveloped canal (III) . These observations would appear related to sea-
sonal change in benthic plant abundance. Seasonal differences in standing
crop biomass (g ash-free wt/m^) of benthic plants are indicated below.

The Sea-Air Estate canal featured benthic macroinvertebrates quite
different in terms of taxa compared to the Big Pine Key waterways. Aside
from the annelids and nematodes, the two canal systems had only seven fami-
lies of benthic macroinvertebrates in common. Although the canal systems
contained sediments of comparable character (particle sizes and C:N ratios),
the Sea-Air waterway was substantially deeper and void of benthic attached
plants. Also dissolved oxygen concentrations were often less than 2 mg/1.
Sampling at Station 19 (outside of the canal area) revealed a benthic
macroinvertebrate community comprised of 40 various kinds of organisms with
a numerical average of over 3,000 individuals per square meter of substrate.
The number of taxa and individuals found at the canal stations ranged from
7 to 10 and 338 to 718 per square meter of substrate respectively (Appendix E-1.5),
The numbers and kinds of benthic macroinvertebrates found occupying the
bottom sediment of the Atlantic Beach canals were representative of a poorly
developed community (Appendix E^1.6). Sampling at three of the five developed
canal stations (1, 4, and 5) showed a total absence of macroinvertebrates.
At Station 3 of the heavily developed canal, the maximum numbers of taxa and
individuals were found (12 and 740 per square meter of substrate, respectively).
The numerical distribution of benthic organisms followed a trend relating
to longitudinal position in the canals. The number of animals and the diversity
of kinds decreased with distance from the mouths of the canals. This distribu-
tion paralleled the same trend for DO values near the bottom, and heavy metal
and organic matter concentrations in the sediments.
-------

At Spooners Creek, only three stations were sampled. The number of
taxa found ranged from one to four kinds of organisms. Two of these taxa
were polychaetes which were numerically the predominant macroinvertebrate
of the community (Appendix E-1.6).
2. Macrophytes
Macrophytes are an important component of many estuaries and off-shore
waters along Florida's coast. They are invaluable as a habitat and food
source for the myriad of species dependent upon them for functional support.
Chronic environmental perturbations altering the structure and function of
plant communities will ultimately affect other trophic levels, including
the highest trophic level—man. The ability of plants to respond to sub-
tle perturbations is a useful warning device which investigators can use
prudently to correct previous injudicious decisions.
Plant harvesting techniques were used to derive estimates of standing
crop biomass for the macrophytes. Sample gathering was based on random
selection (using tables of random numbers) with replication. A quarter-
meter-square frame was used to isolate quadrats of the plant community at
selected points along transects perpendicular to the shore. Isolates of
vegetation were harvested (excluding roots), sorted into groupings of
species, refrigerated, and returned to the Athens laboratory for processing.
Laboratory analysis included drying samples at 105°C and igniting the mate-
rial at 500°C in a muffle furnace. Prior to burning, the plant material
was subjected to a mild acid digestion (5-percent HC1) to relieve the vege-
tation of carbonate incrustations. Drying and igniting procedures were as
described in EPA Biological Field and Laboratory Methods (73).
An extensive macrophyte sampling program was not initiated in the
Punta Gorda canals because macrophytes were not observed or collected dur-
ing an earlier reconniassance survey. During the 2-week survey of November
1973, extensive growths of two macroalgae, Ulva and Enteromorpha, were
observed on the mudflats near reference Station 4. According to Humm (74),
Ulva and Enteromorpha commonly respond to added nutrients such as sewage
effluents. The source of this apparent nutrient enrichment seems tracable
to the finger-fill canals adjoining Alligator Creek. Referring to the
mass exchange studies, Canals I and II were exporting significant quanti-
ties of nitrogen and phosphorus to Alligator Creek.
Sparse amounts of a vascular plant, Ruppia maritima, were also col-
lected at the mouth of Canal I during the November survey. Limited amounts
of vascular plants and macroalgae in the canals can be attributed to bottom
instability and minimal light penetrations. As indicated in Appendix D-2.1,
the inorganic fraction of the sediments (sand) reached greatest represen-
tation at the mouth (Station 3) of Canal I, where Ruppia was observed.
Medium sand (69 percent by weight) was the predominant substrate particle
at Station 3. However, at Station 1, the substrate featured a predominance
of finer material (27 percent silt, 18 percent fine sand) which is a less
stable substrate for plant attachment. Sufficient sediment stability and
light penetration (greater than light compensation level of 1 to 2 percent)
are two prerequisites for most vascular plant growth. It is evident that
these essential conditions were met at the mouth of Canal I (Appendices D-2.1
-------
191
and E-5) as small amounts of Ruppla were able to grow at Station 3. No
macroalgae or vascular plants were collected from the bottom of Canal II,
although there was sufficient light reaching the bottom for sparse plant
growth. Apparently bottom instability and other factors inhibited plant
growth in Canal II. Anoxic conditions such as demonstrated in August 1974
would preclude any carryover of benthic plants to the dry season.
At Big Pine Key, 24 algal species and two vascular plant species were
collected from the study area in November 1973, and 14 algal species and
three vascular plant species were collected in August 1974 (Appendices
E-2.1, E-2.2, E-2.3 and E-2.4). An equivalent reduction in number of
species was observed in both Canals III and IV.
Halodule wrightii. a vascular plant, and an unidentified species of
green alga, Cladophora sp.f were collected at all stations in 1973 and
1974.
Halodule wrightii occupies an extensive geographical range extending
throughout the Gulf of Mexico and up to the lower Cheasapeake Bay. This
species is considered tolerant of extreme environmental conditions. Great-
est growth is in the intertidal zone, but it is'also found in deeper water
with Thalassiji (75). In terms of standing crop biomass it dominated the
flora at all stations in Canal 3 both in 1973 and 1974. It was present in
Canal IV in 1973 and 1974 and dominated at Station 14 in 1974.
Th.ala.ssia testudinium, which was present in many collections in 1973
and 1974, did not predominate at any of the stations in 1973 (Appendices E-2.3
and E-2.4). In 1974, it was a predominant at the mouth (Station 14) of devel-
oped Canal IV. £. teatudinium is the most abundant species in the eastern
Gulf of Mexico, where it may account for 60 to 75 percent of all seagrasses
in terms of bottom cover and biomass (75). However, its predominance in the
canal system was generally negligible.
Penicillus and other Siphonales such as Caulerpa and Halimeda are able
to colonize unconsolldated sediments and are usually found together with
seagrasses (74). However, where the standing crop of Thalassja is low,
Halimeda and Penicillus will predominate (74). Halimeda incrassata was
predominant in Canal IV but only present in Canal III during both study
periods. This difference can be partially attributed to the greater amount
of sediments richer in organic matter in developed Canal IV.
Average plant standing crop biomass in terms of ash free weight (AFW)
in the study area during 1973 and 1974 (Tables XXXVII and XXXVIII) ranged
from 0.81 to 34.94 g/m2. The high and low of this range were recorded
from Canal IV.
In 1973, differences in plant community biomass between canals were
insignificant at the 90-percent confidence interval (Figure 94). The
wide variances among samples within a canal were primarily due to hetero-
geneity of plant distribution on the bottom of the canals.
-------
192
A greater number of "plant samples would have reduced the statistical
variances within a canal. In 1974, sample replicates were increased in
an effort to reduce variability and discern statistical differences.
There was an average increase in biomass (AFW) at Canal IV in 1973
from the end to the mouth of the canal. This trend may reflect a subtle
plant response to increased nutrient load and reduced water circulation.
This longitudinal increase in biomass at Canal IV reflects the influence
plants had on dissolved oxygen in the canal. The disparities between
bottom and surface DO's from the end of the canal to the mouth are
evident in Figure 51 and suggests that greater plant biomass effected
greater DO variations from surface to bottom toward the mouth of the
canal.
In 1974, there was a significant difference in standing crop biomass
between Canal III and developed Canal IV (Figure 95). Standing crop bio-
mass was not only reduced between canals, but there was a seasonal reduc-
tion from 1973 to 1974 in plant biomass at Canal IV, especially at the
dead end of the canal (Table XXXVIII).
3. Periphyton
The periphyton community is a unique assemblage of organisms which
spend at least part of their life cycle attached to substrates within
aquatic environs. Their ability to react to subtle environmental pertur-
bations via changes in growth response and species composition is well-
documented, and aquatic biologists have successfully used this community
to monitor waters suspected of being under stress.
During the Punta Gorda and Big Pine Key study, glass slides (diatometers)
were placed in the canal systems to evaluate community growth response
and changes in periphytic species composition as well as to determine the
optimum time for periphytic colonization as it relates to monitoring acti-
vities in semitropical estuaries.
Artificial substrates were placed at the mouth and end of each
study canal and reference station on November 13, 1973. At Punta Gorda
replicate slides were removed from the diatometers on days 4, 6, 10, 13,
19, 23, and 29 by Mr. Richard Cantrel of the Florida Department of
Pollution Control. Replicate slides were left in the Big Pine Key
stations for 37 days before they were extracted from the samplers.
For each incubation period, three replicate slides were used for
chlorophyll and biomass (AFW) analyses and two replicate slides were
subjected to Sedgwick-Rafter counts. All analyses were conducted
-------
193
according to EPA Biological Field and Laboratory Methods Manual (73) .
Chlorophyll a_ measurements were corrected for phaeophytin £ (a degradation
product of chlorophyll a). Autotrophic indices were derived from chlorophyll
_a and biomass values according to the following equation:
Autotrophic Index = ash-free weight in g/m2 (Eq-8)
Chlorophyll a^ in
Numerically, pennate diatoms were the predominant components of the
algal and protozoan flora at each station (Appendix E-3.1). These are
usually the predominant diatom found on substrates.
The successional sequence of colonization proceeds from a bacterial
predominance to diatom predominance and then diversification to bacteria,
diatoms, green algae, blue-green algae, protozoans, etc. This is a normal
sequence of succession on slides placed in freshwater and is apparently
the same for slides in the estuarine system (Appendix E-3.1). From day
19 through day 29 at Stations 1, 3, and 7, green filamentous sporelings were
observed on the slides but not counted. Protozoan vorticellids appeared in
Canal I along with green filamentous algae. The presence of Oscillatoria,
a blue-green alga usually tolerant of high organic loads, at the end of
Canal II suggests the periphyton community was reacting to a slight increase
in organic matter and possibly nutrients along this developed canal.
Periphyton slides were allowed to incubate from November 29 to
December 27, 1973 (29 days) at the Big Pine Key stations. A number of
slides were lost during the 29-day period, and only slides from the end
of Canal IV and mouth of Canal III were recovered after 29 days of incu-
bation. Pennate diatoms were predominant on the slides in both canals.
Coccoid blue-greens and quiescent green flagellates were present on Canal
IV slides (Appendix F-3.2) . The presence of blue-greens and green flagel-
lates may be a response to nutrient load in Canal IV, which is exposed to
septic tank drainage and street runoff.
All photosynthetic plants contain chlorophyll a_ except bacteria;
therefore, this pigment is highly specific for plants and is a relative
means of estimating algal standing crop or growth after correcting for
phaeophytin ji.
Algal growth at the mouth of Canal II (Figure 96) was in a lag
phase for the first 10 days before exponentially increasing from days
10 to 19. Exponential growth appeared to subside at day 23, but the
algal community continued to multiply until day 29, when it attained
its average maximum yield of chlorophyll ji (149.3 mg/m2) . As indicated
in Appendix E-3.3, extensive variances, like those found at day 23,
were attributed to excessive filamentous green algal growths on only
one or two replicate slides.
-------
194
At the end of Canal II, the algal community immediately initiated
an exponential growth phase (Figure 96) and attained an average maximum
yield of 77.7 mg/m2 after 19 days of growth.
Diatom samples were lost at reference Station 4 after 10 days of
incubation, and a maximum yield of 45.3 mg/m2 was recorded after 10
days' growth.
The algal community at the mouth of Canal I (Figure 97) did not
initiate exponential growth until day 13. Average growth subsided at
day 29, when an average maximum yield of 72.0 mg/m2 was attained on
the slides.
Maximum rates of algal growth and maximum yields were greater at
the mouths of the canals than at the ends (Figures 96 and 97). At
Canal II, average maximum yields were considerably greater than at
Canal I when comparing equivalent station locations of the canals.
Greater maximum yields at the mouth of each canal may be the
result of exposure to greater accumulative loads of nutrient and
greater tidal velocities at the seaward end of the canals.
Additional inorganic nutrient loading of Canal II from auxiliary
sources and rapid remineralization of organic matter (animal proteins,
etc.) to greater concentrations of inorganic nitrogen (Table VII) have
resulted in greater yields of periphytic algae in Canal II. These
growths of algae could become a nuisance problem if continually exposed
to increased nutrient loads, especially during summer conditions when
plant activity is greatest.
Periphyton reflect the quality of water continuously flowing over
them; therefore, they can serve as an excellent historical indicator
of water quality. Changes may range from subtle alteration of species
composition to complete community destruction or excessive proliferation.
The nature and severity of water quality degradation are reflected in
the ratio of biomass (AFW) to chlorophyll a_ which is considered an auto-
trophic index (AI). Periphyton communities exposed to inorganically
enriched waters have AI's similar to those reported for algal cultures
(76). As the level of non-toxic organic matter increases, the algae
are replaced by non-chlorophyllous organisms resulting in an increase
in the AI.
Variances in the index values at day 4 (Figures 98 and 99, Appendix
E-3.5) were presumably due to different rates of attachment, adjustment,
-------
195
and types of organisms initially colonizing the slides. Extreme AI
variances near the end of the incubation period were attributed to
extensive filamentous growths of green algae and uneven distribution
of animals among replicate slides.
The low AI's of Canal II reflect the response of the organism to
inorganic nutrient enrichment. From days 6 through 29, at the time of
exponential growth and when average maximum algal yields were attained
on the slides, the average AI ranged from 39 to 182 at the mouth and
from 134 to 242 at the end of Canal II (Appendix E-3.5). Aththe 95-
percent confidence interval, no significant minimum AI differences
were discerned among stations in Canal II. The average minimum AI at
the mouth of Canal II was considerably less than the minimum AI at the
end of the canal. This subtle difference in minimum average AI's
plus the greater maximum periphyton yield at the mouth of Canal II
further verifies that more inorganic and simple organic nutrients are
available for periphyton growth at the mouth of the canals.
Minimum average autotrophic index (AI) values after 10 days' growth
at reference Station 4 were within the range of values at other stations
(Appendix E-3.5). The low AI and presence of Ulya and Enteromorpha
near Station 4 indicate inorganic nutrient enrichment conditions do
exist in the Punta Gorda area.
Generally, the periphyton community was reacting to inorganic nutrient
enrichment in the Punta Gorda area. The data (Table VII) indicate only
slight amounts of non-toxic organic matter were available to the periphy-
ton community for growth. Apparently, organic pollution was minimal.
Weber and McFarland (76) consider systems moderately polluted when the
autotrophic index is approximately 1,000. Average indices at Punta Gorda
stations studies from day 6 to day 29 were considerably less than 1,000
during the incubation period.
4. Phytoplankton chlorophyll a^
Chlorophyll £ concentrations, which are an indirect measurement of
phytoplankton standing crop, were not significantly different (at 95-per-
cent confidence interval) among the stations in each canal studied
(Figure 100 and Appendix E-4.1) except in Canal I, where Stations
2 and 3 were significantly different.
In the Big Pine Key study area, significant chlorophyll £ differ-
ences (at 95-percent confidence interval) did exist in 1973 among Canal
III, reference Station 11, and Canal IV (Figure 100). Greater chlorophyll
£ concentrations in Canal IV appeared to be a subtle indication of enrich-
ment in the nutrient-poor waters of the Big Pine Key.
-------
196
Average chlorophyll a_ concentrations at Punta Gorda ranged from
5 to 16 mg/m^ which are somewhat less than average concentrations
of 17 mg/m-* found in Gulf inshore waters (77). At Big Pine Key in
1973, the significantly lower average chlorophyll ji concentrations ranged
from 0.16 to 1.02 rng/m^ and were comparable to or greater than average
concentrations of 0.2 mg/m^ reported from the open Gulf of Mexico (77).
In 1974, average chlorophyll a_ concentrations at Canal II and control
Station II were slightly less than open Gulf concentrations (Table XXXIX).
At Canal IV, average chlorophyll a_ concentrations were slightly greater
than open Gulf Waters.
Based on the data and observations made at. the study sites, it
appears that Punta Gorda1s canal system is a detrital-based system.

H. MATHEMATICAL MODELING
Mathematical modeling techniques were applied fo four of the
study canals: Canal II at Punta Gorda, Canal V at Big Pine Key
and Canals VI and VII at Atlantic Beach (Figures 101, 102 & 103).
The models were calibrated by simulating the fate of a dye and compar-
ing the simulations with field measurements. Once calibrated, the
models were used to compute flushing rates and also to compute
dissolved oxygen suppressions under hypothetical waste loadings.
1. Models
The model used for initial simulations of the canals was the
June 1973 University of Florida version of the Storm Water Manage-
ment Model (SWMM). The University of Florida has an ongoing contact
with EPA to maintain the "official" version of SWMM and to revise and
update both the source code and documentation for the entire SWMM
package (78 and 79).
SWMM did not satisfactorily reproduce observed profiles. The
field study showed the dye mixing rapidly throughout the length of
the canal and then slowly "bleeding" out. The model, however, shows
the dye cloud centroid remaining in one place and slowly flattening
out, similar to classical diffusion without advection. As the SWMM
neglects diffusion in its transport equation, this apparent diffusion
is probably due to "numerical dispersion", or "pseudo-dispersion",
associated with the numerical methods employed in this model.
2. Model Background
The emission of diffusion in SWMM seems to be a serious oversight
but this phenomenon was neglected only after several applications of
the model showed it to be relatively insensitive to the diffusion
coefficient. The conceptual development and initial application of
the model to San Francisco Bay was carried out by Water Resources
Engineers (WRE) of Walnut Creek, California. This model was documented
in a user-oriented form by Feigner and Harris in 1970 (80) and the model
was called the Dynamic Estuary Model (DEM). A concurrent application
of this model to the Columbia River was described by. Callaway et al.
in 1969 (81) and further documentation of this version followed in
1970 (82). This version is the Columbia River Model (CRM). An appli-
cation to the Potomac Estuary and comparison with the "Thomann" one-
dimensional, steady-state model was described by Clark and Feigner in
1972 (83). This report describes a detailed sensitivity analysis of
the model and concludes that:
-------
208
"Of the various input parameters investigated for the
Dynamic Estuary Model, the decay rate and solution
technique for advective transport appeared to be the
most sensitive in affecting the model's predictions.
With the exception of simulating salinity (chlorides)
the least sensitivity was identified with the disper-
sion (diffusion) coefficient."
All of the above applications used the basic model which was
developed by WRE for San_FranciscovBay. WRE also continued use of
the model and eventually modified it to accept hydrograph inputs for
use as the receiving waters model of SWMM. In the SWMM final report,
the following statement regarding diffusion is made:
"Experience has shown that, with the short computational
time intervals used, the major transport mechanism is by
advection and thus the diffusion term can be safely
neglected."
The SWMM model has had wide application in water quality model-
ing. In a series of river basin modeling contracts, the Chattahoochee
River, Pearl Harbor, the Willamette River Basin, and several New
England basins were modeled. Region IV, EPA had used the model
almost exclusively as an estuary model, the only exception being
an application to the Chattahoochee River. Among the estuaries
modeled have been the Escatawpa Estuary, Bayou Cassette (both near
Pascagoula, Mississippi), Biloxi Back Bay (Biloxi, Mississippi), the
Mobile River at Mobile, Alabama and the Sampit River and Winyah Bay
(Georgetown, South Carolina). The model has performed quite well in
these applications; its only serious deficiency has been the inability
to simulate vertical stratification. This limitation is inherent in
the assumptions made in model development.
However, the SWMM model does not perform satisfactorily in finger-
fill canal systems and it was suspected that the reason for this failure
is the omission of the diffusion term in the mass transport expression.
As canal systems have little natural inflow, the net advective trans-
port is small and the major transport mechanism is diffusion. The
models mentioned in the previous paragraph were of systems where
advective transport was large compared to 'diffusion.
The importance of diffusion in the canal systems was tested by
using a pre-SWMM version of the WRE model which had a diffusion term
in the transport equation - the CRM or Callaway version of the original
WRE model. This version was selected because of its availability and
-------
209
excellent documentation. It was selected over the DEM version because
CRM has a temperature simulation capability which DEM does not have.
While this feature was not exercised in this application, it was felt
that experience with this version might be useful in the future.
3. Simulations
Once the CRM was selected, the problem of choosing a proper
diffusion constant arose. CRM (and DEM) uses the following time
variant expression for diffusion:
DL = c/u/R (Eq- 9)
Where:
DT = dispersion coefficient in sq. ft/sec
Li
/u/ » tidal velocity in ft/sec
R - "Hydraulic Radius'1— expressed as:
Channel Cross Sectional Area
Width
c *• Dispersion constant - dimensionless
Note;— the expression for the hydraulic radius differs
from the classical definition
As seen from the above, D. is dependent upon canal depth, width,
length, tidal amplitude, and tidal period.
Simulations performed on the canals using the above computation
for the dispersion constants derived from the field measured DL values
(Table II) were found to be inadequate. The dispersion constants were
too small. However, further simulations did produce an equation that
approximated the field measured concentrations, i.e. , D^ = 0.22 c/u/R
(Eq- 10).

The dye tracer Rhodamine WT Dye is not a truly conservative
tracer. Feurstein and Selleck (9) reported a decay coefficient for
Rhodamine dye subjected to bright sunlight conditions to be - 0.538
per day (i.e., C/C = exp (-.0538/day)). Their work,, however, did'not
quantify the solar energy required to produce this decay rate. Since
our flushing studies required a mass balance of the tracer material,
an accounting for the decay rate of the tracer along with measurements
of light energy (to relate decay rate to solar energy) was carried out
during the September 1974 study. Decay coefficients for the November
1973 flushing studies are those reported above (-0.538 per day) adjusted
for light penetration.
Clear glass bottles containing known concentrations of the tracer
were submerged at mid-depth in one of the investigated canals at
Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. Aliquots were taken from these
bottles at selected intervals throughout the study and subjected to
fluorescence measurement. In conjunction with the bottle decay measure-
ments, light penetration and solar energy determinations were made
to develop quantitative relationships between decay rates and solar
energy.
A marine photometer unit was employed to measure the light intenr
sity at the waters surface and also at the mid-water column elevation.
Solar intensities at mid-depth were found to be approximately 20%
of the surface intensity. These readings along with pryheliometer
solar energy recordings supplied by the National Marine Fisheries
Office in Beaufort, North Carolina, were then used to describe the
photochemical reaction rate of the tracer material (Figure 104).
After exposure to 308,000 microeinsteins per meter squared of
light energy with a wave length of 590 nanometers (the excitation
length of the tracer) the tracer had decayed 1Z (Figure 104). The
decay coefficient (mid-depth) was found to be -0.1278 per day. This
equates to a full light (water surface) decay coefficient of -0.534
per day which agrees well with the value reported by Feurstein and
Selleck (-0.538 per day). In terms of 1/2 life, the tracer dispersed
in the water column decayed due to photochemical reactivity to 50%
of the original concentration in 130 hours.
Coefficients used in the mathematical simulations were -0.009,
-0.013 and -0.005 per hour for Punta Gorda, Big Pine Key and Atlantic
Beach, respectively. Comparisons between computed and field measured
tracer concentrations reveal a reasonable verification of the applica-
bility of this model (Figures 105, 106, 107 and 108).
-------
211
Successful verification of the modeling technique was followed
by a hypothetical simulation of a conservative pollutant to illustrate
the flushing times of the three canal systems. Point source loads
were placed at the canal dead-ends. Resulting flushing times for a
50% reduction of the conservative contaminant are 51, 70, 22 and 49
hours in Canals II, V, VI, and VII, respectively. Likewise, a 90%
reduction occurs in Canal II at 165 hours, Canal V at 220 hours,
Canal VI at 70 hours and Canal VII at 146 hours (Figure 109).
Canals II and V were also tested for dissolved oxygen effects
under the influence of waste loadings from hypothetical sewage treat-
ment plants. Simulations were made for a 10,000 gallon per day (gpd)
and a 100,000 gpd waste discharge near the dead end of each canal.
Carbonaceous oxygen demand (BOD,-) of 20 ppm, nitrogenous oxygen demand
(TKN) of 20 ppm, and a dissolved oxygen concentration of 1.0 mg/1
were assumed in the effluent. Reaeration and deoxygenation rates used
were 0.05 and 0.10 per day (base e), respectively.
Dissolved oxygen suppressions resulting from the above loadings
are shown on Figures 110 and 111. These computed DO changes do not
reflect other associated DO demand such as sediment demands, metabolic
respiration, and imported carbonaceous and nitrogenous demands. The
effect on the DO budget at the dead end of Canal II (Punta Gorda)
was a 0.26 mg/1 and a 2.6 mg/1 decrease due to the respective waste
loads of 10,000 gpd and 100,000 gpd. Waste loadings to Canal V at
Big Pine Key were more pronounced. The DO suppressions at the dead
end were 0.60 mg/1 and 4.2 mg/1 for the respective waste discharges.
One must keep in mind that greater benthic demands and increased
plant metabolism would be associated with the introduction of these
waste loads to the canal system and would produce added stresses on
the DO budget.
The quantitative effect .of the simulated waste loading to Canal
II can be approximated by assuming that this canal, if it had no
development along its banks.would have DO concentrations typified
by those recorded in Canal I (undeveloped). This comparison is
given in Table XLI but, again, accelerated plant growth, benjthic
demands, and runoff are not considered.

The discharge of sewage treatment plant effluent into these canal
systems would be ill-advised. Simulated discharges indicate that even
a minor waste flow of 10,000 gpd would tax the oxygen budget. Other per-
turbations such as increased benthic demands, respiration, runoff, and
decreased DO saturation during warm weather conditions, would increase
the DO deficits.
Modeling should be applicable to similar situations where canal
configurations and dispersion coefficients are known. When field measure-
ments of the dispersion coefficients are not possible, approximations of
the dispersion coefficients are not possible; approximations can be made
by empirical means. However, the model should be used carefully as it
does not include the dispersion mechanism induced by salinity and tempera-
ture stratification.
-------
213
The effects of canal dimensions, i.e., depth and length, were
simulated on Canal V at Big Pine Key. Mixing mechanisms were assumed
to be unchanged from the field measurements of current conditions (no
stratification). Dispersive factors were simply recomputed from the 4/3
Law with subsequent dispersion constants (C) for the math model computed
by Equation 10. Note that both length and depth are forcing factors in
this equation.
Resulting flushing curves (Figure 112) reveal that 50% flushing of
a conservative contaminant introduced near the canal dead end would occur
after 90 hours, under the current configuration, after 170 hours with
the length doubled, after 230 hours with the depth doubled and after
30 hours with the depth halved. Likewise, 90% flushing would occur
after 220 hours, 400 hours, 660 hours, and 90 hours under the above
configurations. From these flushing times (Figure 112), it is apparent
that depth has a greater effect on flushing time(s) than does length.
Consequently, if flushing times are to be minimized, canal depths should
be governed by minimum navigation criteria and not by fill requirements
for residential development. A further consideration is that increased
depths may promote temperature/salinity stratification which inhibit com-
plete mixing.
To document the flushing times in a canal system with depths of 4-6
MLW additional studies were performed in July 1975. Studies were conducted
on a branching canal system at Cape Coral, Florida. This particular
system had a width of 125', a fairly constant depth of 5 feet MSL, a
length of 6000' and experienced a 1 foot tidal range. Resulting flushing
times to the 50% and 90% levels were 50 and 170 hours respectively.
Dissolved oxygen measurements in the above system substantiated the
consequences of shallower depths. All minimum DO values recorded were
equal to or greater than 4i5 ppm over a 25 hour: diel period. In contrast,
canals of similar configurations and joining the same parent water body
and with depths to 13 feet were stratified with respect to salinity.
Minimum DO values of 0.0 ppm were recorded for the bottom waters in this
canal system.

APPENDIX A-l
Florida Water Use Classifications
Class II waters - shellfish harvesting.
The following criteria are for classification of waters in areas
which either actually or protentially have the capability of supporting
recreational or commercial shellfish propagation and harvesting. Harvest-
ing may only occur in areas approved by the Division of Health, Florida
Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services.
(1) Bacteriological Quality, Coliform Group - areas classified for
shellfish harvesting, the median coliform MPN (Most Probable Number) of
water cannot exceed seventy (70) per hundred (100) ml., and not more than
ten (10) percent of the samples ordinarily exceed an MPN of two hundred
and thirty (230) per one hundred (100) ml. in those portions of areas
most probably exposed to fecal contamination during most unfavorable
hydrographic and pollutional conditions.
(2) Sewage, Industrial Wastes, or Other Wastes - any industrial wastes
or other wastes shall be effectively treated by the latest modern tech-
nological advances as approved by the regulatory agency.
(3) pH - of receiving waters shall not be caused to vary more than
one (1.0) unit above or below normal pH of the waters; and lower value
shall be not less than six (6.0) and upper value not more than eight and
one-half (8.5). In cases where pH may be, due to natural background or
causes, outside limits stated above, approval of the regulatory agency
shall be secured prior to introducing such material in waters of the state.
(4) Dissolved Oxygen - shall not be artifically depressed below the
values of four (4.0) ppm unless background information available to the
235
-------
regulatory agency indicates prior existence under unpolluted conditions
of lower values. In such cases, lower limits may be utilized after
approval by the regulatory authority.
(5) Toxic Substances - Free from substances attributable to municipal,
industrial, agricultural or other discharges in concentrations or combina-
tions which are toxic or harmful to humans, animal or aquatic life.
(6) Odor - threshold odor number not to exceed 24 at 60°C as a daily
average.
Class III waters - recreation - propagation and management of fish and
wildlife.
The following criteria are for classification of waters to be used
for recreational purposes, including such body contact activities as
swimming and water skiing; and for the maintenance of a well-balanced
fish and wildlife population. All surface waters within and coastal waters
contiguous to these basins, including off-shore waters, not otherwise
classified shall be classified as Class III; however, waters of the open
ocean shall be maintained at a dissolved oxygen of not less than five (5.0)
mg/1. Streams specifically listed in Section 17.3.21 by a separate listing
designated as "Special Stream Classification" shall similarly be maintained
at a minimum dissolved oxygen level of five (5.0) mg/1.
(1) Sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes - any industrial
waste or other wastes shall be effectively treated by the latest modern
technological advances as approved by the regulatory agency.
(2) pH - of receiving waters shall not be caused to vary more than
one (1.0) unit above or below normal pH of the waters; and lower value
236
-------
shall be not less than six (6.0), and upper value not more than eight and
one-half (8.5). In cases where pH may be, due to natural background or
causes outside limits stated above, approval of the regulatory agency
shall be secured prior to introducing such material in waters of the state.
(3) Dissolved Oxygen - shall not be artifically depressed below the
values of four (4.0) ppm unless background information available to the
regulatory agency indicates prior existence under unpolluted conditions
of lower values. In such cases, lower limits may be utilized after
approval by the regulatory authority.
(4) Bacteriological - coliform group not to exceed 1,000 per 100 ml
as a monthly average, (either MPN or MF counts); nor to exceed this number
in more than 20% of the samples examined during any month; nor exceed
2,400 per 100 ml (MPN or MF count) on any day. This criteria shall apply
only to waters used for body contact activities.
(5) Toxic substances - free from substances attributable to municipal,
industrial, agricultural or other discharges in concentrations or combina-
tions which are toxic or harmful to humans, animal or aquatic life.
(6) Deleterious - free from substances attributable to municipal,
industrial, agricultural or other discharges producing color, odor or
other conditions in such degree' as to create a nuisance.
(7) Turbidity - shall not exceed fifty (50) Jackson units as related
to standard candle turbidimeter above background.

APPENDIX A-2
RULES, REGULATIONS, CLASSIFICATIONS AND
WATER QUALITY STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THE
SURFACE WATERS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The Declaration of Policy, as set forth in Section 211, Article 21,
Chapter 143 of the General Statutes of North Carolina (Chapter 606, Session
Laws of 1951) as amended, reads as follows: "It is hereby declared to be
the public policy of this State to provide for the conservation of its
water and air resources. Furthermore, it is the intent of the General
Assembly, within the context of this Article to achieve and to maintain
for the citizens of the State a total environment of superior quality.
Recognizing that the water and air resources of the State belong to
the people, the General Assembly affirms the State's ultimate responsibility
for the preservation and development of these resources in the best interest
of all its citizens and declares the prudent utilization of these resources
to be essential to the general welfare. It is the purpose of this Article
to create an agency which shall administer a program of water and air pol-
lution control and water resource management. It is the intent of the
General Assembly, through the duties and powers defined herein, to confer
such authority upon the Board of Water and Air Resources as shall be
necessary to administer a complete program of water and air conservation,
pollution abatement and control and to achieve a coordinated effort of
pollution abatement and control with other jurisdictions. Standards of
water and air purity shall be designed to protect human health, to prevent
injury to plant and animal life, to prevent damage to public and private
property, to insure the continued enjoyment of the natural attractions of
the State, to encourage the expansion of employment opportunities, to pro-
vide a permanent foundation for healthy industrial development and to secure
for the people of North Carolina, now and in the future, the beneficial
use of these great natural resources."
REGULATION NO. XII. - CLASSIFICATIONS FOR TIDAL SALT WATERS AND WATER
QUALITY STANDARDS APPLICABLE THERETO. The standards of water quality for
each separately identified water to which a classification is assigned shall
be those specified for such classification in the following series of Classi-
fications and Water Quality Standards.
1. Class SA Waters:
a. Best Usage of Waters: Shellfishing for market purposes and any
other usage requiring waters of lower quality.
b. Conditions Related to Best Usage: Waters will meet the sanitary and

stances or wastes as will not make
the waters unsafe or unsuitable
for fish and shellfish or their
propagation, impair the palatability
of same, or impair the waters for
any other best usage established for
this class.
Total coliform group not to exceed
a median MPN of 70/100 ml, and not
more than 10% of the samples shall
exceed an MPN of 230/100 ml for a
5-tube decimal dilution test (or
330/100 ml where a 3-tube decimal
dilution is used) in those areas
most probably exposed to fecal con-
tamination during the most unfavor-
able hydrographic and pollution con-
ditions.
Shall not be increased above the
natural water temperature by more
than 1.5°F. during the months of
June, July, and August no more than
4.0%F. during other months and in
no case to exceed 90°F., due to
the discharge of heated liquids.
Bathing and any other usage except shellfishing

b. Conditions Related to Best Usage: The waters, under proper sanitary
supervision by the controlling health authorities, will meet accepted sanitary
standards of water quality for outdoor bathing places and will be considered
safe and satisfactory for bathing purposes.
4. Quality Standards Applicable to Class SB Waters
Items Specifications
a. Floating solids; settleable
solids, sludge deposits.
b. Sewage, industrial wastes,
or other wastes.
c. pH.
d. Dissolved oxygen.
e. Toxic wastes; oils; dele-
terious substances; colored or other
wastes.
f. Organisms of coliform
group (applicable only during
months of May through September.
During other months the coliform
organism standard for Class "SC"
Waters shall apply.)
None attributable to sewage, in-
dustrial wastes or other wastes.
None which are not effectively
treated to the satisfaction of
the Board. In determining the
degree of treatment required
for such waters when discharged
into waters to be used for bathing,
the Board will take into consider-
ation the quantity and quality of
sewage and wastes involved and the
proximity of such discharges to
the waters in this class.
Shall be normal for the waters in
the area, which generally shall
range between 6.0 and 8.5, except
that swamp waters may have a low
of 4.3.
Not less than 5.0 mg/1, except
that swamp waters may have a mini-
mum of 4.0 mg/1.
Only such amounts, whether alone
or in combination with other sub-
stances or wastes as will not make
the waters unsafe or unsuitable
for bathing, injurious to fish or
shellfish, or adversely affect the
palatability of same, or impair
the waters for any other best usage
established for this class.
Fecal coliforms not to exceed a
log mean of 200/100 ml (either
MPN or MF count) based on at
least five consecutive samples
examined during any 30-day period
and not to exceed 400/100 ml in
more than 20% of the samples ex-
amined during such period. (Not
applicable during or immediately
following periods of rainfall).
